TL;DR

• • Best pattern: a technique or tool word (pour, hook, kiln, shilp) plus a place word (studio, house, co.).
• • Check five places: Instagram, the domain, Google, the trade mark search, and your store link.
• • Avoid: place names that aren’t true, a single craft in the name if you make several, and anything close to a known brand.
• • Then claim it the same day: the handle, the WhatsApp Business name and a free store link.

How to use this list

Most names here are two halves: a technique, tool or material word (pour, hook, kiln, cord, shilp) and a place or maker word (studio, house, co., atelier). Take one as it is or swap the halves: “Kiln Studio”, “Shilp House”. Your own first name is the one half nobody else can use.

The technique words are the useful part. “Handmade” is what every seller says; “thrown by hand” or “pour and cure” tells a buyer you know your craft. Many of the words are Hindi, with the meaning next to each. If your buyers speak another language, use the same pattern with a word from theirs.

Classic craft names: names 1 to 10

Five questions before you choose

• Will you still make this in a year? Makers change crafts. If you started with resin and are drifting to pottery, “The Resin Room” will date fast. A wider word (studio, object, maker) survives the change.
• Does it make a claim? “Stoneware”, “organic cotton”, “sustainable” and a place name are promises about every piece you sell.
• Can the person who receives it find you? Handmade pieces are gifted constantly. The receiver sees only the swing tag. If they can’t spell the name into Instagram from that, you lose the next order.
• Does it sound like a known brand? Décor and craft brands, and the big handmade marketplaces, have lawyers. A name one letter away from theirs is not a new name.
• Can you say it on a phone call? Custom orders are agreed on WhatsApp voice notes. If you have to spell it, buyers will mistype it.

For a fuller method, and the difference between .com, .in and .store, read how to choose a name and domain for your online store.

The label test: a swing tag is the size of your thumb

Your name will live on a swing tag tied to the piece with string, a stamp on a kraft box, a sticker on tissue paper and a courier label. The swing tag is the one buyers keep. Write the shortlisted name by hand on a piece of card the size of your thumb. If you have to shrink the letters to make it fit, the name is too long, however good it sounds.

Two short words almost always pass. Three words pass if one is “&” or “Co.”. The care note (“Hand wash, dry flat”) and the story of the piece go on the back of the tag, not in the name. Put your Instagram handle on the tag too; a buyer who loved the piece will look for the next one there.

How to check the name is free

Do these in order and stop as soon as one fails. A stamp or a batch of tags is cheap once; ordering them twice is not.

1. Check the Instagram handle

A handle is the name after the @ sign. Search yours in the app. If an active account has it, the name is gone for practical purposes, because your buyers will land on them. If it is free, create the account today. If it is taken, add “studio”, “makes” or your city rather than numbers or stacked underscores, and check the longer version is free as a domain too.

2. Check the domain

A domain is the address people type to reach a website, such as yourbrand.com. Any company that sells domains has a search box that tells you in seconds whether a name is free. You don’t have to buy it today. On SitesPlaced, a free store gets an address like yourname.sitesplaced.site the moment you pick the store link, and your own domain connects on the Starter plan.

3. Search Google

Search the name with your craft and your city. You are looking for another maker in the same craft with the same name. A bakery with the name is not a problem; a potter is.

4. Avoid trade mark trouble

A trade mark is a name or logo registered to one business for a kind of product. India’s trade mark office, IP India (ipindia.gov.in), has a free public search. If someone has registered your name for décor, toys, textiles or similar goods, choose another. Registering your own mark is a separate step with its own forms and costs; for that, and for anything you are unsure about, check with a trade mark lawyer.

5. Try it as your store link

On SitesPlaced the first part of your free address is the store link, set under Settings → Store details. It is saved in lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. If another store has it, you will see “Slug is already taken”.

What to avoid

• Place names that aren’t true. Protected crafts belong to the places that make them. Say “inspired by” in the listing instead.
• A festival in the name unless you only sell for that festival. Diyas and torans sell for a few weeks; a name built on the craft sells all year. Festive names are in Diwali business name ideas.
• Names close to a known décor brand or handmade marketplace. Changing one letter does not make it a new name.
• Numbers, hyphens and clever spellings. “Kraftz4U” has to be spelled out on every call.
• A different name on each app. If the Instagram handle, the WhatsApp Business name and the store name don’t match, buyers wonder if they have the right maker.

Put the name to work the same day

Once a name passes the checks, claim it everywhere at once: the Instagram handle, your WhatsApp Business name, and your store. On SitesPlaced a store is free to open, with 0% commission: unlimited products and orders, UPI and cards through your own Razorpay, PhonePe or Cashfree account, cash on delivery and WhatsApp checkout. The Home & Decor Store and Gifts & Lifestyle Store templates are among 16 free templates. Per-product personalisation on the free plan takes the name for a nameplate or the photo for a resin keepsake at checkout, so the details arrive with the order instead of in a DM. The store name appears in the header, on invoices and in order emails.

Your own domain, such as yourbrand.com, comes with the Starter plan at ₹199/month or ₹1,990 a year. In India you can also pay ₹199 once for 30 days, with no autopay. Starter removes the SitesPlaced badge and makes your store’s pages answer about 4× faster than on the free plan: about 75 ms instead of about 330 ms, measured on live paid stores on 28 September 2026. “Answer” means how soon the page starts arriving, before the photos load. The code FREE7 gives 7 days free on Starter or Growth when you set up autopay; cancel before the first charge and you pay nothing.
