Contact NameForge

NameForgeis a small, independent, ad-supported site — there is no support team standing by, but a real person reads what comes in to support@startupfail.com.

A few things this address is genuinely useful for: a tool that gave you a result you think is wrong (say which one — business name generator, domain name generator, tagline generator, brand color palette generator, monogram generator, or name-availability checklist — and what you entered); a tool you wish existed on the site; an out-of-date fact or broken link in the blog, learn section, or the Museum of Branding & Design; or a bug in how a page looks or behaves on your device.

There’s no fixed response time to promise, and no ticket number or live chat — email is read and handled as it comes in. If a question is really about whether a specific name is legally available, a trademark attorney, your country’s trademark office, and a domain registrar will give you a far more authoritative answer than this site can; NameForge’s tools are creativity and brainstorming aids, not a legal or trademark clearance service, and the site isn’t affiliated with any trademark office, registrar, or company registry.

Before writing in about a tool result, it can help to double-check what you typed — a stray character in a name field, or a keyword the tool didn’t expect, is the most common source of a surprising result. If it still looks wrong after that, that’s exactly the kind of message worth sending.
