1) Short, soft-vowel endings (think Stripe, Linear). 2) Everyday verb used as a noun (Loop, Brace, Mint). 3) A founder name + tiny suffix (Patel & Co., Hayes Lab). For online courses specifically, you also want a name that says 'small batch' or 'curated' without literally using those words.
Avoid these naming mistakes
Don't put the category in the name (e.g., 'Pure Online Courses Solutions'). Don't use random vowel-stuffing ('Quolltyz'). And do a 30-second Google + USPTO check before falling in love — most short brandable names are already taken.
How the AI generator works
Type online courses as the industry, pick a vibe (modern, playful, premium), and the model gives you 10 candidates with one-line taglines. Cross out the obvious losers, run it again, and you'll have your shortlist of 3 in about 5 minutes.
- Online Courses → 'Slowmade', 'Northshelf', 'Quietkin', 'Folded', 'Daypoint'
- Online Courses (premium vibe) → 'Sterling Lane', 'Atelier No. 7', 'House of Fold'

Yes — outputs are yours commercially. File a USPTO trademark once you've committed and the name has been in use.
