How can we help?

Liberonym is a name and brand decision platform designed to help you find the right name — and make a better-informed decision before you commit to it.

You can use Liberonym in two ways: if you already have a name in mind, Liberonym helps you investigate and evaluate it. If you’re still looking for a name, Liberonym can help you explore and develop naming ideas based on what you’re building.

The goal is simple: help you start with the right name.

Liberonym is for anyone choosing a name they may build something around — founders, entrepreneurs, businesses, brand teams and creators launching a company, product, service or brand.

You don’t need to arrive with a name already chosen. You can use Liberonym while exploring possibilities, comparing candidates or investigating a name you’re already considering.

It’s especially useful before you’ve invested heavily in a name through branding, domains, marketing, incorporation or trademark applications.

Link to this answer

Yes. Liberonym isn’t only for checking names you’ve already thought of.

If you’re starting without a name — or none of your current ideas feel right — Liberonym can help you explore naming possibilities based on your business, what you want the name to communicate and other relevant considerations.

The aim isn’t simply to produce a long list of AI-generated names. It’s to help you move towards names that make sense for what you’re building and can then be investigated further before you commit.

Ideally, as early as possible.

You can use Liberonym when you’re looking for your first naming ideas, when you’ve narrowed your options to a shortlist, or when you have a preferred name and want to investigate it before committing.

Finding an important issue — or a better direction — early is usually much easier than discovering it after you’ve invested in branding, domains, marketing, incorporation or trademark applications.

And Liberonym can remain useful as your naming decision develops: helping you explore, compare, investigate and narrow your options before making a major commitment.

Liberonym looks at a name from multiple angles rather than treating naming as a single search.

Depending on your search and the coverage available, Liberonym can examine areas including trademarks and well-known marks, company and business names, domains, social identities, sanctions and other relevant sources, alongside Name Intelligence that considers characteristics of the name itself.

It can also consider factors such as how a name relates to what you’re building, how it may be pronounced, spelled and remembered, and relevant cultural or language considerations.

Liberonym then brings the findings together to help you understand what looks encouraging, what deserves attention and what may need further investigation.

The exact checks and source coverage available can vary by market and over time, and your report shows the relevant coverage for your search.

Link to this answer

Liberonym uses a purpose-built naming methodology that considers multiple characteristics and signals relevant to naming decisions.

When evaluating a name, Liberonym looks at the name in the context of what you’re building and combines Name Intelligence with relevant searches and evidence to identify strengths, potential concerns and areas worth investigating further.

When helping you find a name, Liberonym uses the context and direction you provide to develop potential candidates that can then be explored, refined and investigated before you commit.

We aim to be transparent about what your results mean, why a finding matters and the evidence or source behind relevant findings.

Some parts of Liberonym’s methodology and technology are proprietary, so we don’t publish the internal formulas, models or processes used to produce the analysis or generate candidates.

ChatGPT and other general-purpose AI tools can be useful for brainstorming, discussing ideas and generating possible names.

Liberonym is built specifically for the naming decision.

It combines purpose-built Name Intelligence with searches across relevant sources to help you understand a name from multiple perspectives — not simply what an AI model thinks about it.

Liberonym also distinguishes between different types of evidence and search outcomes. For example, finding nothing relevant in a completed search is different from a source that couldn’t be checked.

And if you’re looking for a new name, Liberonym connects name creation with evaluation and investigation, so promising ideas can be examined before you commit to them.

In short, general AI can help you talk about names. Liberonym is designed to help you make a better-informed naming decision.

Link to this answer

Liberonym helps you make that decision — it doesn’t simply make it for you.

A name can have strengths, weaknesses, legal considerations, linguistic issues and commercial trade-offs at the same time. Liberonym helps surface the signals that matter, explains why they may matter and highlights where something deserves closer attention.

When you’re considering several names, Liberonym can also help you understand their relative strengths and concerns so you can make a more informed choice.

The final decision remains yours. For significant legal or commercial commitments, such as filing a trademark or investing substantially in a brand, appropriate professional advice and formal clearance may still be needed.

Because changing a name is much easier before you’ve built a business around it.

A name can affect how people understand and remember you, how easily they find and talk about you, how your brand develops, and whether existing names or rights create issues worth considering.

Liberonym helps you investigate those questions earlier — while changing direction is still relatively easy.

It can help you discover reasons to feel more confident about a name, uncover concerns you hadn’t considered, compare alternatives and identify questions that deserve further investigation before you invest heavily.

You may still decide to use the name you started with. The difference is that you’ll be making that decision with more information than you had before.

That’s what Liberonym is built for: helping you start with the right name.

Link to this answer

Choosing a business or brand name can look simple until you actually have to do it.

A name has to work for what you’re building, stand out, be understood and remembered, and coexist with names, trademarks, domains and identities that already exist.

Liberonym grew out of years of experience with those questions — including its founder’s academic work in trademark law, building businesses, and experiencing first-hand how difficult choosing the right name can be.

The idea was to build the system we wished existed: one place to explore, understand and investigate a name from different angles before committing to it.

The name Liberonym is itself coined around the ideas of freedom and naming, and draws from two roots: Liber — “free” in Latin. Onym — “name” from Greek.

Liberonym is pronounced “Li · be · ro · nym” — four syllables, just as it is written.

That’s why we call it Liberonym — and why we say:

Start with the right name

Link to this answer

Start with whichever situation you’re in:

I have a name — enter the name you’re considering and tell Liberonym what it’s for. Liberonym will help you evaluate and investigate it.

Help me find a name — tell Liberonym about what you’re naming and what you’re looking for, and it will help you explore potential names.

You don’t need to know anything about trademarks, naming theory or brand strategy to get started. Liberonym guides you through the information it needs along the way.

Link to this answer

Because a name can’t be properly considered in isolation.

The same name can work very differently depending on what it represents, the products or services behind it, who it’s for, where it will be used and how the business may develop.

Understanding your business helps Liberonym make its analysis and naming assistance more relevant to what you’re actually building, rather than evaluating the name as just a word.

That’s why Liberonym may ask you to describe your business or confirm its understanding before continuing.

Link to this answer

Because where you plan to use a name can change what matters.

Trademark rights, company and business names, languages, cultural considerations and the relevance or availability of different sources can vary between countries and markets.

Your target markets help Liberonym focus its analysis and searches where they’re most relevant to what you’re building.

Selecting a country doesn’t mean that every possible right, record or issue there has been conclusively cleared. Your results reflect the checks and sources available for your search, with relevant coverage and limitations shown where appropriate.

Link to this answer

Liberonym starts by understanding the name in the context of what you’re building.

It then looks at the name from multiple perspectives, combining Name Intelligence with relevant searches and evidence to identify strengths, potential concerns and areas that deserve closer attention.

As the checks are completed, Liberonym brings the findings together into a structured result designed to help you understand what matters and why, rather than leaving you to interpret a collection of disconnected search results.

From there, you can use the findings to continue with the name, investigate an issue further, compare alternatives or reconsider your direction before making a major commitment.

Link to this answer

Liberonym starts by understanding what you’re building, who it’s for and the direction you want the name to take.

It then helps you explore potential names based on that context, rather than simply producing a generic list of suggestions.

You can develop and refine promising ideas, explore different naming directions and move the candidates you like into Liberonym’s evaluation and investigation process.

This connects finding a name with checking the name, so you can move from possibilities towards a name you can make a more informed decision about.

Link to this answer

No single naming search can check every trademark, company registry, database, language, right or other source worldwide.

Liberonym brings together a growing range of relevant sources and checks to give you a broader, more structured view of your proposed name. The sources relevant to a particular search can depend on factors such as the markets you’re considering and the coverage currently available.

Importantly, Liberonym distinguishes between a search that completed, one that couldn’t be completed, and an area that isn’t currently covered. An unavailable check isn’t treated as though nothing was found.

If an automatic source cannot complete during your search, your report says it couldn’t be checked. That is never treated as a clean result.

Your results therefore tell you what was actually checked and highlight relevant limitations, helping you understand the evidence behind your naming decision.

Link to this answer

“Unable to verify” means Liberonym could not complete or sufficiently verify that particular check. Liberonym doesn’t treat an unavailable search as a clean result.

If a source or check can’t be completed — for example, because the underlying source is temporarily unavailable — Liberonym identifies that limitation rather than presenting the absence of results as evidence that nothing exists.

This helps you distinguish between “we checked and found nothing relevant” and “we couldn’t complete this check.”

Depending on the importance of that source to your decision, you may choose to check again later or investigate that area separately before committing to the name.

Link to this answer

Use your results to make the next naming decision with better information.

Your findings may give you greater confidence in a promising name, identify something worth investigating, help you compare alternatives, or show you that reconsidering a name now could save difficulty later.

Pay particular attention to findings Liberonym highlights as needing attention, as well as any searches that couldn’t be completed or areas where coverage is limited.

If a potentially relevant trademark or other significant legal issue is identified, professional legal review should be a necessary next step before you make a major commitment.

Even where nothing material is identified, professional clearance remains recommended before filing a trademark or making a substantial commercial investment in the name.

Liberonym is there to help you move forward with better evidence, clearer questions and fewer avoidable surprises.

“What if…?” helps you explore how your existing Liberonym report might change if part of your plan changes.

For example, you might ask what happens if you enter another market, change the business activity, or consider a different written form of the name.

Liberonym separates what the evidence already in your report can still tell you from anything that would need to be checked again. It does not treat an unsearched scenario as though it had already been cleared.

Where the scenario needs additional evidence and the relevant checks are available, Liberonym may let you run those checks for the scenario.

If you change to a genuinely different name, that name may need its own investigation rather than being treated as though the original report covered it.

“What if…?” is there to help you explore consequences and trade-offs — not to give a legal clearance, score or automatic naming verdict.

Link to this answer

Ask Liberonym lets you ask questions about your own completed evaluation in plain language.

You can use it to understand a finding, ask what a particular check means, explore why something appears in your report, or navigate back to relevant evidence.

Ask Liberonym is grounded in the information available for that evaluation. Asking a question does not change your findings, alter the evaluation or silently create new evidence.

If the report does not support an answer, Ask Liberonym should not turn that uncertainty into a fact.

Ask Liberonym is currently available to signed-in users for evaluations they are authorised to access.

It is there to help you understand your report — not to replace professional legal advice or make the final naming decision for you.

Link to this answer

Liberonym currently offers automatic name investigation across 27 countries.

In each of these countries, Liberonym automatically checks both of the core areas of a naming investigation: trademarks and company or business names. You don’t need to leave Liberonym to complete either of these core checks.

Europe: Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine.

Middle East: Israel.

The Americas: Canada, Chile, Mexico and the United States.

Asia-Pacific: Australia, Singapore and Taiwan.

Liberonym also performs other relevant checks depending on your name and markets, including domains, sanctions, language and other naming evidence.

Coverage can differ between sources within a country, so your individual report remains the source of truth for exactly what was checked in your evaluation.

Link to this answer

Name Intelligence is Liberonym’s structured analysis of the name itself — beyond checking whether matching records exist in databases or registries.

It considers characteristics that can affect how a name may work in the real world and in the context of what you’re building.

The purpose isn’t to declare a name universally “good” or “bad.” It’s to help you understand its strengths, possible friction points and trade-offs so you can make a more informed naming decision.

Liberonym explains the findings that matter to your decision, while the underlying methodology used to produce the analysis remains proprietary.

Link to this answer

There’s no single formula for a great name.

A strong name needs to work for what you’re building. Depending on the situation, that can involve how distinctive and memorable it is, how easily people can say and spell it, what it communicates or suggests, whether it can grow with the business, and how it may be understood across relevant languages and markets.

These qualities can also involve trade-offs. A highly unusual name might stand out but require more explanation. A very descriptive name may be immediately understandable but harder to differentiate.

Liberonym helps you see those strengths and trade-offs in context rather than applying a one-size-fits-all definition of the “perfect” name.

Link to this answer

Liberonym doesn’t reduce your naming decision to a single overall score.

A name can be strong in one area and create concerns in another. Combining everything into one number can hide important differences — and a high score shouldn’t cancel out a finding that genuinely deserves your attention.

Instead, Liberonym helps you understand the different strengths, concerns and trade-offs that matter to your particular name and business.

The aim is not to tell you that a name is “82/100.” It’s to give you better information for deciding why the name may or may not be right for what you’re building.

Link to this answer

Yes. How easily people can say and spell a name can affect how comfortably it travels between conversations, recommendations, searches and written communication.

Liberonym can examine potential pronunciation and spelling friction, including situations where a name may reasonably be interpreted in more than one way.

That doesn’t mean every unfamiliar, invented or unusually spelled name is a bad name. Distinctive names sometimes ask people to learn something new.

The important question is whether any friction is acceptable for the name you’re trying to build. Liberonym helps you identify that trade-off rather than automatically penalising originality.

Link to this answer

Yes. Memorability is an important part of how a name may perform, but it’s more nuanced than simply asking whether a name “sounds catchy.”

Liberonym considers characteristics that may affect how easily a name can be recognised, remembered or confused with something else.

A memorable name isn’t necessarily the shortest, simplest or most unusual one. Context, similarity to other names and how people encounter the name can all matter.

Liberonym therefore treats memorability as one part of the naming decision rather than using a simplistic “memorability score.”

Link to this answer

Yes. A name shouldn’t be evaluated only as a word — it also needs to be considered in the context of what it represents.

Liberonym looks at the relationship between your proposed name and what you’re building, including whether the name creates useful associations, expectations or potential confusion for the people likely to encounter it.

That doesn’t mean a name needs to literally describe what the business does. Some strong names are suggestive, abstract, invented or seemingly unrelated to the product or service they represent.

Liberonym helps you understand how the name and the business work together, without assuming that the most descriptive name is automatically the best one.

Link to this answer

Yes. Standing out can matter just as much as sounding good in isolation.

Liberonym considers whether your name has characteristics that may help it stand apart or whether it could be easily confused with other names in the relevant context.

It can also surface relevant similarities found through its searches, helping you see where another name may deserve attention.

Similarity doesn’t automatically mean two names are legally conflicting or commercially confusing. The significance depends on context, which is why Liberonym presents relevant findings for you to understand rather than treating every resemblance as the same.

Link to this answer

Yes. A name that fits perfectly today can sometimes become restrictive as a business expands.

Liberonym can consider whether a name appears closely tied to a particular product, service, geography or positioning, and whether that could matter if your business develops in a different direction.

That doesn’t mean a focused name is necessarily a weakness. For some businesses, specificity can be valuable. The question is whether the name fits where you want the business to go, not only where it is today.

Liberonym helps surface that trade-off so you can consider it before building significant value around the name.

Link to this answer

Yes. If you’re building a name for more than one market, how it travels across languages and cultures can matter.

Liberonym can look for relevant linguistic and cultural signals, including potential meanings, associations, pronunciation issues or other interpretations that may deserve attention in the markets you’re considering.

These checks are designed to surface potential risks and questions worth investigating, not to claim that an automated system can represent every dialect, community, cultural context or individual interpretation.

Where a cultural or linguistic issue could materially affect your brand, additional review by an appropriate native speaker or local expert may be worthwhile before making a major commitment.

The aim is to help you discover potential issues before your customers do.

Link to this answer

Liberonym can help you identify characteristics of a name that may be relevant to trademark distinctiveness and registrability, and highlight issues that may deserve closer attention.

For example, how directly a name describes the relevant goods or services can matter when considering trademark protection. But trademark registrability is a legal question that depends on the mark, the goods or services, the jurisdiction and the circumstances of the application.

Liberonym therefore uses these signals to help you spot potential issues earlier and ask better questions rather than promising that a trademark will or won’t be accepted by a particular trademark office.

Before filing or relying on a definitive legal conclusion about registrability, appropriate professional legal advice is recommended.

Link to this answer

Yes. Trademark searching is an important part of Liberonym’s name investigation.

Liberonym searches available trademark sources relevant to your search to help identify marks that may deserve attention before you commit to a name.

The search isn’t limited to asking whether an identical name appears. Relevant similarities can also matter, depending on the information and search capabilities available.

Liberonym presents relevant findings together with context to help you understand why they may matter. However, its searches are preliminary screening, not a formal legal clearance opinion or a guarantee that no conflicting rights exist.

If Liberonym identifies a potentially relevant trademark, professional legal review should be a necessary next step before making a major commitment to the name.

Link to this answer

Liberonym’s current offered countries have automatic trademark coverage, which continues to expand.

The sources used for a particular search depend on the markets you’re considering and the coverage available at the time of your search.

Your Liberonym results show the relevant checks for your search, including where a source couldn’t be checked or where a particular area isn’t currently covered.

In most covered markets Liberonym searches the national trademark office directly. In some EU markets the European Union trademark register is the automatic layer and the national register is not searched; your report always names the registers actually searched.

For every selected EU country, the European Union trademark register is searched automatically in addition to any national trademark register Liberonym automatically searches.

Because Liberonym’s coverage continues to evolve, the most relevant information is the coverage shown in your individual results at the time you run the search.

Coverage of a market does not mean that every possible trademark right or record in that jurisdiction has been conclusively cleared.

Link to this answer

No. An identical match isn’t the only thing that can matter when investigating a name.

Where supported by the relevant search, Liberonym can identify other potentially relevant similarities that may deserve your attention.

A similarity doesn’t automatically mean there’s a legal conflict. Its importance can depend on factors such as the names involved, the relevant goods or services, the market and the surrounding circumstances.

Liberonym helps surface potentially relevant findings so you can understand what deserves a closer look. Where a finding could present a significant trademark issue, professional legal review should be the next step.

Link to this answer

It’s a positive preliminary result.

It means Liberonym did not identify a trademark requiring your attention in the searches that successfully completed for your name.

That’s useful evidence when considering whether to move forward, particularly when viewed together with the rest of your Liberonym findings.

It doesn’t mean that no relevant trademark right exists anywhere. Search coverage, data availability and the legal significance of different rights can vary, and some issues may require professional assessment.

Before filing a trademark or making a substantial commercial commitment to the name, professional trademark clearance remains recommended.

Link to this answer

It doesn’t automatically mean you can’t use the name.

Liberonym highlights potentially relevant findings so you can understand that something deserves closer attention before you commit. The existence of another trademark — even one with similarities to your proposed name — doesn’t by itself determine whether there is a legal conflict.

If Liberonym identifies a potentially significant trademark issue, professional legal review should be your next step before filing, launching or making a substantial investment in the name.

That review can consider the specific rights, goods or services, markets and circumstances involved and help you decide whether to proceed, modify the name or choose another direction.

Link to this answer

Yes, where relevant coverage is available.

Famous and well-known trademarks can deserve particular attention because their significance may extend beyond the ordinary considerations that apply to other trademark records.

Liberonym can check available sources relating to recognised famous or well-known marks and surface potentially relevant findings as part of your name investigation.

A finding doesn’t by itself determine whether you can or cannot use a name. The legal protection given to a famous or well-known mark varies by jurisdiction and circumstances, so a potentially significant finding should be reviewed by an appropriate trademark professional.

Link to this answer

Yes, where relevant registry coverage is available.

Liberonym can search available company and business registers to identify names that may be relevant to the name you’re considering.

A company-name finding doesn’t automatically mean you can’t use or trademark your proposed name. Company registration and trademark rights are different, and the significance of a similar business name depends on the circumstances.

Liberonym surfaces relevant findings so you can understand what may deserve attention before you commit, rather than assuming that every company-name match has the same meaning.

Link to this answer

Not necessarily.

Finding an identical or similar company name is something worth understanding, but it doesn’t automatically mean you’re prevented from using your proposed name.

Company-name registration, trademark rights and rights arising from commercial use are not the same thing, and the significance of another business can depend on factors such as where it operates, what it does and the rights involved.

Liberonym helps bring relevant findings to your attention. If a finding could materially affect your plans, appropriate professional advice can help determine what it means for your particular situation.

Link to this answer

Nice classes are part of an international classification system used to group goods and services for trademark purposes.

A trademark is not considered only by its name. The goods or services connected with it can also matter when understanding whether another trademark may be relevant.

Liberonym may therefore show the Nice classes connected with the business activity it understood and the trademark searches performed for your evaluation.

The classes are there to give context to the trademark evidence — not to guarantee that a particular classification is legally correct or that a trademark application will be accepted.

If classification is important to a filing or legal strategy, appropriate professional advice may still be needed.

Link to this answer

Yes, where the relevant checks are available.

Liberonym can check domain names and social identities related to the name you’re considering, helping you understand how the name may work across your digital presence.

Availability can change quickly, and a result reflects what Liberonym was able to observe at the time of the search. A domain or social identity that appears available isn’t reserved for you by Liberonym and may later be registered or claimed by someone else.

If an important domain or social identity is available and forms part of your naming decision, consider securing it when you’re ready to proceed.

Link to this answer

No. Domain availability is useful information, but it doesn’t establish that you have the legal right to use the name.

A domain can be available even where another party has relevant trademark or other rights. The reverse can also happen: the domain you want may already be registered even though the name itself could still be a viable option.

That’s why Liberonym considers domain information as one part of the wider naming decision, rather than treating an available domain as legal clearance.

Before making a significant commitment, consider the domain result together with the other relevant findings for your name.

Link to this answer

Depending on your search, markets and the coverage available, Liberonym may look beyond trademarks, companies, domains and social identities to other evidence that can help you understand a proposed name.

That can include areas such as sanctions and restricted-party information, protected signs, well-known marks, geographical indications, non-profit registers, app stores, court or tribunal decisions, media titles, personal and family-name usage, place names, airport codes, country identifiers, and relevant language or meaning evidence.

Not every type of check is available for every market or every evaluation, and a category being part of Liberonym does not mean every possible source in that category was searched.

Your report shows what was actually checked, what could not be completed and what is not currently covered for that evaluation.

Liberonym may add or improve source coverage over time, which is why the report itself — rather than a static public list of every source — remains the relevant source of truth.

Link to this answer

Liberonym is designed to provide useful, evidence-based information you can rely on for preliminary naming decisions and screening.

The quality of a particular result can depend on the information you provide, the sources available for that search, the quality and currency of underlying data, and the nature of the issue being assessed.

Where Liberonym uses external sources, those sources can sometimes be incomplete, delayed, unavailable or contain errors. Liberonym is designed to make relevant limitations visible rather than silently turning missing information into a clean result.

Some aspects of naming also involve judgment rather than a single objectively correct answer. Liberonym helps you understand the evidence and relevant considerations so you can use the result with the appropriate level of confidence.

For decisions requiring definitive legal clearance, professional review remains appropriate.

Link to this answer

Liberonym draws on multiple types of information depending on the checks relevant to your search.

For registry and record-based checks, Liberonym uses available data from relevant external sources, with an emphasis on authoritative and official sources where appropriate and available.

Liberonym combines this information with its own Name Intelligence and analysis to help turn individual findings into a more useful picture of the naming decision.

Where source information is relevant to understanding a finding, Liberonym aims to give you enough context to understand where that information came from and what it means.

Because external sources can change, update or occasionally become unavailable, your results reflect the information and checks available at the time of your search.

Link to this answer

Liberonym aims to use information that is as current and relevant as reasonably available for each check.

How frequently information changes or becomes available can differ between external sources. Some sources may provide very recent information, while others publish or update their data on their own schedules.

For that reason, a Liberonym result reflects the information available to the relevant checks at the time of your search, rather than guaranteeing that every external record worldwide is updated in real time.

Where timing is particularly important to your decision, consider the source information and coverage shown in your results and, where appropriate, confirm critical findings before making a major commitment.

Link to this answer

No search system can guarantee that every potentially relevant record will always be identified.

A record may not appear because of the coverage or availability of the underlying source, differences in how information is recorded or updated, limitations in the data provided by an external source, or because a potentially relevant result wasn’t identified by the search.

Liberonym is designed to reduce uncertainty by searching relevant available information and making important coverage limitations visible where appropriate.

A result showing nothing relevant was found is therefore valuable preliminary evidence, but it shouldn’t be interpreted as a guarantee that no relevant right, business or record exists anywhere.

For decisions requiring definitive legal clearance, professional review remains recommended.

Link to this answer

Liberonym distinguishes between different search outcomes, because they don’t all mean the same thing. These are the words you’ll see in your results and in your report.

“Observations identified” — that check completed and Liberonym found something potentially relevant to your naming decision. This doesn’t automatically mean the name can’t be used; the finding should be reviewed in context, and significant ones deserve professional legal review.

“No observations identified” — that check completed and Liberonym didn’t identify anything requiring your attention in it. This is useful preliminary evidence, but it isn’t a guarantee that nothing relevant exists anywhere.

“Checked” and “Searched” — in the part of your report that shows what Liberonym looked at, these mean an applicable source completed. Whether anything was found is a separate question, shown with the findings, and a completed search is not legal clearance.

“Unable to verify” — Liberonym couldn’t complete or sufficiently verify that particular check. This should never be read as a clean result or as evidence that nothing exists. Where a source matters to your decision, consider checking again later or looking into that area separately.

“Couldn't check” and “Couldn’t check this time” — a source Liberonym does cover was attempted but could not be read on this occasion. It means the same thing as being unable to verify, applied to that individual source: nothing was found because nothing could be looked at, which is not the same as nothing being there.

“In progress” and “Still checking” — work on that check simply isn’t finished yet, so there is no result to read. It isn’t an outcome, and it doesn’t mean a name is clear or available.

“Not currently covered” — Liberonym doesn’t currently have an official source connected for that country, market, source or check. It therefore wasn’t searched by Liberonym at all, and shouldn’t be read as though a completed search found nothing.

Those distinctions are the ones that matter most: a completed check that found nothing is not the same as a check Liberonym couldn’t complete, and neither is the same as an area Liberonym doesn’t currently cover.

Your actual Liberonym result remains the source of truth for what was checked in that particular evaluation.

Link to this answer

Liberonym can tell you whether the name you’re considering — or a relevant part of it — is also recorded as a given name or a surname in published official name data, such as national statistics offices and population registers.

This looks at names, not people. Liberonym doesn’t search for, identify or profile any individual, doesn’t match names to celebrities or public figures, and doesn’t combine a given name and a surname into a person.

It’s shown as context, not as a problem. A name being used as a personal name somewhere in the world is completely normal, and it isn’t a legal finding. It can still be worth knowing — it may affect how your name reads, how searchable it is, or how it feels to people in a particular market.

Because published name data only ever covers what a given authority chose to publish, Liberonym only reports what it positively found. If nothing is shown, that simply means nothing was found to show you — it isn’t a statement that the name isn’t used by anyone, anywhere.

Liberonym also doesn’t infer anything about origin, ethnicity, religion, nationality or any other personal characteristic from a name.

Liberonym’s Final Report is designed to help you understand the decision before you dive into every record.

It starts with the context of your evaluation and a plain-language explanation of what the report means, followed by the findings grouped by importance.

You can then inspect the detailed evidence behind those findings, explore any interactive tools available for your evaluation, review what to do next, and see what Liberonym actually checked — including checks that could not be completed or areas that are not currently covered.

The same core report meaning is preserved across the customer report and its supported saved, shared and exported forms, although interactive features are only available where the format supports them.

The aim is to make the important information easy to understand without hiding the evidence underneath it.

Link to this answer

Liberonym groups findings into five categories so you can understand their significance without reducing your name to a single score.

Important issue — evidence of the kind that can materially affect your naming decision and deserves close attention.

Concern — something worth reading carefully and considering before you commit.

Watchpoint — useful context that may matter, but carries less decision weight on its own.

Good to know — evidence that is useful to know but does not itself carry decision weight.

Positive — evidence that supports the name in a particular respect.

The counts are counts of records, not scores or percentages.

Positive or Good to know evidence never cancels out an Important Issue, Concern or Watchpoint. Each finding should be understood on its own terms and in the context of your business and markets.

Link to this answer

Liberonym prepares a plain-language explanation to help you understand what the evidence in your report means for the naming decision you are considering.

The explanation works from the report’s governed findings and coverage. It does not create new evidence, change the findings, alter their categories or make the final decision for you.

Before an AI explanation is shown, Liberonym applies its own controls to make sure the explanation stays grounded in the report and does not turn preliminary evidence into a claim of legal clearance or availability.

If Liberonym cannot produce an explanation that meets those requirements, it should tell you that the explanation is unavailable rather than show unverified substitute wording.

The underlying report and evidence remain available independently of the AI explanation.

Some evidence from outside those markets can still be useful context and may therefore appear in your report. Other evidence may apply more broadly than a single country.

A finding from another territory does not mean that your selected market was searched or cleared by that foreign source.

Liberonym keeps the geography of the evidence separate from the coverage of the markets you asked it to investigate, so you can distinguish directly relevant findings from wider context.

Your report’s “What Liberonym checked” section remains the source of truth for which checks were actually completed for your evaluation.

No. Liberonym provides name intelligence and preliminary screening to help you make a better-informed naming decision. It doesn’t provide legal advice or replace advice from a qualified lawyer who has considered your specific circumstances.

That doesn’t make the findings any less useful. Liberonym is designed to help you identify relevant information earlier, understand what deserves attention and make better decisions about what to investigate next.

If Liberonym identifies a potentially significant trademark or other legal issue, professional legal review should be your next step before making a major commitment.

Even where nothing material is identified, professional clearance remains recommended before filing a trademark or making a substantial commercial investment in the name.

Liberonym’s role is to help you make a better-informed naming decision before you commit to the name.

Trademark filing and registration are separate legal processes, and the requirements vary between countries and trademark offices.

Where professional clearance or filing assistance is appropriate, Liberonym may help you understand the next step, but you should not assume that using Liberonym itself files, reserves or registers a trademark.

Your name remains unregistered unless the appropriate application is separately filed with the relevant trademark authority.

We understand that a name you’re considering may be commercially sensitive — sometimes long before anyone else knows it exists.

Liberonym will not take a name you submit for its own use, sell your proposed name, or deliberately give it to another user or third party for their own use.

Your proposed names aren’t made publicly searchable simply because you use Liberonym.

If you choose to save an evaluation, it can be kept with your account so you can return to it. If you choose to share a report, the information you intentionally share may be accessible to the people you share it with.

Like any online service, Liberonym may need to process and retain limited information for purposes such as operating and securing the service, preventing abuse and meeting legal obligations. Details about how information is handled are explained in our Privacy Policy.

Liberonym uses the information you provide to deliver the service you’ve asked for — for example, understanding what you’re naming, carrying out relevant checks and producing your results.

We don’t sell your proposed names or deliberately provide your naming ideas to other users or third parties for their own use.

Some information may need to be processed by service providers that help Liberonym operate, and limited information may be retained where necessary for security, abuse prevention, service operation or legal obligations.

Where Liberonym gives you the option to save your naming work, saving it for future access is your choice.

For full details about how personal information is collected, used, stored and protected, please see our Privacy Policy.

Yes. Where these options are available, Liberonym lets you keep your results for future reference and share them when you choose.

Saving and sharing are separate actions. Saving an evaluation doesn’t make it public or automatically share it with anyone else.

If you choose to share a report, remember that it may contain information about your proposed name, business and Liberonym’s findings. Only share it with people you intend to give access to.

Available save, download and sharing options may depend on the Liberonym feature or plan you’re using.

You can start using Liberonym and receive value before creating an account.

Liberonym’s approved first-use experience allows you to complete your first naming journey and see the resulting report without being forced to sign up first.

An account is used when you want to keep working beyond that first anonymous experience — for example, to save work to your account or use account-dependent features such as supported sharing, downloads or further evaluations.

Anonymous working copies are temporary and are not the same as intentionally saving an evaluation to your account.

Creating an account does not make your names or reports public.

Available account-dependent features may evolve over time, so the controls shown in the product are the current source of truth.

No. A completed evaluation represents what Liberonym actually checked and found for that evaluation at that time.

Adding a new registry, source or capability later does not silently rewrite the historical evidence in an existing report.

A shared report is also a fixed representation of the evaluation it was created from, rather than a live promise that future Liberonym coverage has been applied to it.

If you want to investigate the name using newer coverage or updated information, run the appropriate new evaluation or re-check when that option is available.

This separation helps keep the evidence honest: the report shows what actually happened, not what the platform might be capable of today.

You can complete your first Liberonym evaluation and see the resulting report without creating an account.

After that, you’ll need an account to run further evaluations and to use account-based features such as saving, sharing and downloading your work.

You can create an account or sign in using: Email and password · Google · Apple

Google and Apple are simply different ways to access the same Liberonym account experience — they don’t create separate versions of your account or the product.

If you create an account or sign in while continuing a Liberonym journey, the product is designed to return you to the appropriate place so you can continue where you left off.

Creating an account does not make your names or reports public.
