Feel free to use any of these podcast name ideas for your podcasts, but just make sure no one else is using them first (listennotes.com is a great place to start). This is just a brainstorm document to get your creative juices flowing! 🧠
And, again, our free podcast name generator can really help you come up with stellar podcast name ideas, so check it out! 🧑🚀✨
How do I come up with a podcast name?
Let’s say you didn’t find your perfect podcast name in the lists above. Or maybe it is already taken. Don’t worry! Here is a process to help you brainstorm podcast names:
- Come up with a list of the top five keywords that somebody would use to find your podcast. With a black pen ⚫, write down each one on its own slip of paper.
- Come up with a list of fifty words that have to do with the content you cover on your podcast. With a blue pen 🔵, write down each one on its own slip of paper.
- Take one of the words in black ink (top five keywords) and some of the words in blue ink (content words) and play with them in different orders. Write down any combinations you like. 🔵🔵⚫🔵
- Repeat with different black ink words and blue ink words.
- Keep going until you have a list of about five to ten combinations you like. 😍
What should I name my podcast?
Now that you have played around with different possible names, it is time to choose exactly what you should name your podcast. How do you decide?
Well, first take your list of possible names and see if any are already taken. If they are, scratch those from the list. 🗑️
Second, see if any of your possible names are already taken on social media or other websites. There may not be a podcast with the same name, but there could be a book or training course. If that’s the case, it is probably best not scratch that from the list too. ❌
Finally, ask people what they think of your possible names. Ideally, ask people who are the kind of audience you hope will listen to your podcast. If that’s not possible, asking friends, co-workers, etc. can work too. Just ask them to put themselves in the shoes of your potential podcast listeners. 🎧
Why Is it Important to Choose the Right Podcast Name ?
A strong podcast name is crucial not just for branding, but also for improving your podcast’s discoverability. 📈 At Ausha, we conducted a study analyzing how podcast search works on platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. One of our key findings was that including your main keyword in your podcast name can significantly boost your search ranking. 🚀
In fact, we discovered that podcasts with relevant keywords in their titles can gain up to 5 positions higher on Apple Podcasts search results. 📊 This means a well-chosen name can make it much easier for potential listeners to find your podcast when searching for topics related to your content. Not only does this improve your visibility, but it also helps attract more targeted listeners who are genuinely interested in your niche. 🎯

Common Pitfalls to Avoid When Naming Your Podcast
Naming your podcast can be exciting, but it’s important to steer clear of mistakes that could hurt your podcast’s visibility or connection with your audience 💔
Here are some common pitfalls to keep in mind as you brainstorm:
- Overly Generic Names: Avoid names that are too vague or common, as they might get lost in search results.
- Hard-to-Spell Names: Make sure your name is easy to spell and remember.
- Irrelevant Keywords: Don’t include keywords that don’t reflect your content just for the sake of SEO.
- Too Long: Keep your name short and snappy; lengthy titles can be hard to read and remember.
Taking these factors into account will help you create a name that stands out and resonates with your audience 🙉
How a Great Podcast Name Can Boost Your Discoverability
Your podcast name is a powerful SEO tool. Platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube use podcast titles and descriptions to help users find content. Including a relevant keyword in your name, like Marketing Unplugged for a marketing podcast or True Crime Chronicles for a crime show, can significantly increase your visibility in search results. However, avoid stuffing your title with keywords—it should still feel natural and engaging to listeners. The perfect podcast name strikes a balance between creativity, clarity, and searchability.
