Hi, I’m Katie Pannell

& I’m really good with letters.

You can call me Katie with the good names. I've named brands, bands, beauty and baby products and that's just my B-list!

Want me to grade your name? Turn in your work and I'll analyze why it works, or why you should dump it.

56+ things you need to name as an online business owner

Updated: Oct 22, 2025

I wish I could see your face right now when I break it to you that you will always have things in your business that need naming.



Below is an extensive categorized list of all the things that you may one day need to name as an online business owner. Of course, not all of them will apply to you specifically, depending on your business model, what services you offer, your marketing strategy, etc.


But fortunately for me (*giggles in job security*), I think you'll find something on this list that is currently nameless.


Fortunately for you, I have lots of things to remedy that.
