Enter what your newsletter is about, pick a tone (professional, playful or minimal) and, if you like, add your own name or brand. You get a list of name ideas built from patterns such as 'The Design Brief', 'Design Bites' and 'Notes on Design'. Names come from templates, so use the list for inspiration and then make your favourite your own.
A newsletter name appears in inboxes, on a sign-up form and in conversation. It needs to say what readers get, sound like the voice they will hear, and be short enough to remember. The three tones here give you different starting points for that voice.
Names built on a noun such as Brief, Digest or Weekly work because the word tells the reader what kind of thing to expect. A brief is short, a digest is a roundup and a weekly arrives once a week. If you promise a rhythm in the name, you need to keep it.
A topic-led name, such as 'The Garden Brief', is easier for strangers to understand, so it helps when you are starting from nothing. A personal name, such as 'Sam on Gardens', works when people already follow you and want your view in particular.
You can move from one to the other later, but renaming costs you recognition. If you are unsure, start with the topic and put your name in the sender line and the signature.
Search the name in quotation marks. If another newsletter or business already uses it in your area, pick another. Then check that the domain and the handles are free, and that the name is not confusing when written in lower case or read aloud.
Put the name into your sign-up page and into a test email, and look at both. A name sometimes looks different once it is in a real subject line next to a real preview. You can still change it before the first issue goes out.
They are filled in from templates. Your topic and an optional name or brand are combined with lists of nouns and adjectives for the tone you pick. Nothing is sent anywhere, and the same inputs always give the same names.
A name where words start with the same sound, like 'Daily Design' or 'Clever Cooking'. They are easy to remember. The tool adds one when it knows an adjective starting with the same letter as your topic.
Professional suits a newsletter about an industry, finance or news, and uses words like Brief and Report. Playful suits hobbies, communities and entertainment, with words like Bites and Club. Minimal uses plain words like Notes and Letter, which suits personal essays.
Ten for each tone, plus four more when you add a name or brand. If your topic starts with a letter that has no matching adjective, the alliterative name is left out.
Yes, and for a writer with an audience it works well. Add your name and look at the four names that include it. If you have no audience yet, a name that says what the newsletter is about does more to attract subscribers.
