Hello everyone
I need help with getting a name for my game company, it is really hard to make up one.
My company right now is working on a really big horror project, so the name should sound serious, we are all professionals, above the indie level.
We are not going to develop ONLY horror games, a future project of ours is a first person shooter game, set in present days.
The horror game is also first person, high quallity graphics (For graphics reference: Outlast 2).
I really need some help with getting a name, the name is the selling point to a company, so it should be a good one.
Band name generators can be used as a tool to come up with ideas, there’s dozens of brain storming methods, and for creative blocks like this, it’s often best to throw a hundred names at the wall and see what sticks, which a tool like that can absolutely assist with.
A company name is not a selling point. There’s plenty of companies with dumb names that are hugely successful.
It really is a selling point. And is a really important one. I have been into this business long enough to know this. I bet you cant tell me a company with a stupid name that you can call successful
I don’t want to be a party pooper but saying you are very serious the proceed to trust strangers on the internet to name your company seems kind of contradictory.
It’s called discussion and brainstorming.
That’s why i don’t really like forums. People don’t get straight on the topic, and are not really serious about it.
It’s because your demanding help from strangers, and dismissing actual help because it’s not what you want to hear. This thread is really over something very subjective and in the end, doesn’t matter.
Go out and ask 10 people who play games if they can name the developer of their 3 favourite games. I bet a lot of them will give you the wrong names or the name of the publisher and not the developer. The title of the game is a lot more important than the developer name.
I am bad at naming things myself so I got no good suggestions for you.
Easiest way: take the name of your town, street, area, gang, hero, or some stuff like that, and add studios / soft / vision / games / productions / design / entertainment / …

Ubivision
Crystal studios
Crystal entertainment productions

I’m going to number by statements / questions in the order they are received …
Yes, naming a company is hard work. Honestly, easiest part of having a company.
“My Company” ? What company, it has no name, there for, is not a company. You got an EIN? No? Your company is not real.
Your goal is to produce more then just 1 type. You have no idea if your “company” will bankrupt before first release. Plus, whats this got to do with the company name?
Same as #3
The name is 100% NOT the selling point of anything you produce. Your reputation and quality of service is. Your ability is a selling point.
I suggest you keep going with a name that is fitting to you, since, no one knows you here, it would be impossible for us to come up with anything “fitting” to you and your company idea.
Apple is successfull company, you can name your company for example “Banana”
I have nice name (secret - secret isnt name, i just dont want to say that because i found it may be unique name, i googled companies with that name and noone exist as far as i found through google)) for my game company (not exist yet) but i hope one day i can make it
