Many iconic brands have been built using the founder name. Some founders used their full name like Calvin Klein. And other used their last name like Burberry, Disney etc.
Some founders adapt their names slightly like AD Dassler the founder of Adidas. If you are co-founding with others, group your names together like Warner Brothers.

Secret no. 2 – Use alliteration
Alliteration, a closely connected words or in other words catchy and easy on the tongue. Some of the cool examples of using alliteration are Paramount Picture, American Airways, and weight watchers.
First pick the industry you are selling in like fitness and then add the second word which adds meaning like first (Fitness First).
Secret no. 3 – Use a single powerful word and put a twist
This one is the hardest. Here are few examples, Target, Apple, Alphabet, Gap, Pandora and Yulp of single powerful brand names.
Now here how you can put a twist. Try changing the words slightly like, Fiverr, Digg, Toggl etc. On the plus side, you will get the domain name easily but on the downside, people might find it hard to pronounce.
Secret no. 4 – Combine two words meaningfully
