How to use it

  1. 1Choose the language of the names and the type of place.
  2. 2Pick the setting and, for English names, a style: cosy, luxury, rustic, modern, romantic, family or funny.
  3. 3Add your town or a word of your own, such as the tree in your garden, to make the names yours.
  4. 4Shortlist the names you like and press the globe button: you see free domains for the name, ready to take with a Stayveo plan.

What makes a good name for a rental

  • Easy to say and to spell. Guests will type it into a search engine and tell it to friends: if you have to spell it out on the phone, it's too hard.
  • It hints at the place. "Heron Lake House" tells guests about the water before they see a photo.
  • It's yours alone in your area. Search your town on Airbnb, Booking.com and Google Maps before you decide.
  • It works for your guests. If most of them come from abroad, test the name on someone who doesn't speak your language.
  • It lasts. Avoid jokes that tire quickly and words tied to one year or one owner.

Check a name before you fall in love with it

  1. Search it with your town's name: another rental, hotel or restaurant nearby rules it out.
  2. Check the domain with the globe button: we show free domains for the name (.com, your country's domain, .eu) and your free Stayveo address (name.stayveo.com). A Stayveo plan includes one of these domains, renewed free every year: see how.
  3. Check social media for the handle you'd want on Instagram and Facebook.
  4. Check trademarks if you plan to grow: the EU's TMview searches the EU and national registers at once.
  5. Check protected words. Some words belong to registered categories in some countries: "agriturismo" in Italy, for example, is for registered farm holidays only.

Your name is not your listing title

On Airbnb and Booking.com your title describes the stay ("Lake view cabin with sauna, 2 bedrooms"). Your name is your brand: put it on your door sign, your guest book, your welcome book and your own website, so guests can find you again and book direct next time.

Frequently asked questions

How do I name my Airbnb?

Pick a short name that hints at the place (the setting, a tree, a view, the history of the house) and that nobody else uses nearby. Generate a few ideas, shortlist the best, and check that the web address and social media handles are free before you decide.

Should my rental have a name at all?

A name helps guests remember you and find you again: on a sign at the door, in your welcome book, and on your own booking website. It's also what returning guests search for when they want to book direct.

Can I use my town's name in the name?

Yes, and it helps people find you in search. Make sure no hotel or rental nearby already uses a similar name, and that the town name isn't part of someone's trademark.

How do I check if a name is taken?

Search it with your town on Google, Airbnb and Booking.com, check the web address with the globe button in the generator, and look for the handle on Instagram and Facebook. For a brand you plan to grow, search the trademark registers too.

Is the name generator free?

Yes. It's free and needs no account; the names you shortlist stay in your browser.

Can I get the domain for free?

Yes, with a Stayveo plan: it includes a domain at its normal price (.com, .net, .org, .eu or your country's domain), registered in your name and renewed free every year while you subscribe. Press "Take it free" next to a domain to keep it for your new account.

What makes a good domain for a rental?

Short, easy to spell and to say, without hyphens if you can, with the name of your place and, if it helps, your town (casasolelecce.com). Your country's own domain (.it, .de, .es…) often reads as more local to guests from your country; .com works everywhere.
