300 Domain Prefixes and Suffixes (and More Ideas) to Help Create Your Name

As our previous article discussed, adding a prefix or a suffix to a desired generic term extends your options to target a particular market with your name. There are some benefits as well as downsides to doing it, and not all prefixes and suffixes work in all situations.

There’s really an unlimited amount of prefixes and suffixes to choose from, but we’ve put together a list of 300 total as a starting point, along with some additional ideas that give further options. Many of these are general and can be used in most cases, but some have particular uses and have been included primarily because they are used often. Never assume that a combination of any one of these and your targeted generic term makes a good name to use – think carefully about what the name conveys, whether the complete brand would be strong and whether your market would respond well to it.

Other Prefix Ideas

1. Geo terms and locations

Once you introduce a city, state/province, region, country or other geo term into the mix, there are practically unlimited possibilities. Unlike many prefixes/suffixes, geos can actually help you target a specific location. Geo terms can include North, Coastal and similar terms to describe the general area you’re located..

2. Positive adjectives

Good, Great, Best and Top are already on the list, but there are hundreds more positive adjectives that can be used as prefixes. If you’re targeting a younger audience, Awesome might work well for instance, or if there’s a positive aspect of your business you’d like to highlight (similar to Fast and Quick), using it as a prefix may be the way to do it.

3. Colors

Green has especially been in use as of late to signify environmentally friendly, but colors are often used as prefixes whether or not they have a particular meaning in the use. They can have an added branding benefit in the design of the brand – using Blue as a prefix and having a predominantly blue logo and website design may help the name be remembered.

Other Suffix Ideas

1. Geo Locations

Similarly to prefixes, geo locations can be used as suffixes as well (geo terms like North and Coastal generally don’t work for suffixes) and there are thousands of possibilities. It’s not as desirable usually to use them as a suffix but they can still work well and still help target the specific location.

2. Animals

While animals can sometimes work as a branding prefix, they’re more often used as a suffix as it makes the brand double as the name of a mascot that can be used to strengthen the brand. People like animals and remember them rather easily, plus some animals may convey certain attributes that can help with the branding.

3. Positive nouns

Pro, Master, Genie and others are already in the list and depict knowledge and experience in the field. Similar to positive adjectives as a prefix, this can be a possibility to express something about your company that you’d like some focus on.

.
