how you make a good name to a game?

[PotatoWithComputer]

so... i was wondering how to make a good name for a game because... well... i'm having a hard time coming up with a name lol...

when I think in a name that seems cool, it looks like it's an obvious copy of another game's name...

So, do you have any tips on how to give a good name to a game?

Naming is the single most challenging aspect to any game, company, or avatar that I have ever experienced.

I probably over think it.

What's a good name for a computer game about alien cats taking over a city?

ChatGPT

How about "Cosmic Cat Conquest"? This name combines the theme of alien cats with their mission to take over a city in a playful and alliterative way. It suggests a fun and adventurous game where players can immerse themselves in a world of extraterrestrial felines and their quest for city domination.

i agree, it's so difficult

The name of the game should have an exciting introduction, cool plot twists and an unexpected denouement.

Come up with something, search for it on steam and google, if it doesn't come up, you're golden, that's the sort of thing I do to avoid stepping on any toes with copyright.

Ok, i will try to think of this 3 aspects to name my game, maybe in that order is perfect to come up with something good. Thanks

Above already correctly mentioned about copyright. This is a very big problem. One of the workarounds is to name the game in a language other than English.

For translation you can use DeepL — it is much better than Google
