"cache invalidation and naming things." we can't help with the first one.
A whole brand-naming studio, stuffed into one Claude Code skill. You bring the half-baked idea. It brings the strategist, the word-nerd, and the trademark lawyer.
Tell it what you're building → it asks a couple of sharp questions → dreams up hundreds of names → argues with itself about which ones slap → screens them for trademark + language landmines → scores them cold → hands you a shortlist you'd actually be proud to ship. 🔥
no blank-page panic. no "we'll fix the name later." just good names, with receipts.
npx skills add bazingga08/nomirathen /nomira and tell it what you're building.
free · open source · MIT · it named itself
You made something cool. Now it needs a name.
You could think hard for ten minutes and grab the first okay word that shows up. Most people do. That name usually ends up forgettable, already taken, or secretly cursed in another language. 💀
Big companies don't gamble like that. They hand the job to a naming studio and pay roughly the price of a car for it. Inside that studio: word people, sound people, and lawyers, all sweating over one name for weeks.
Nomira is that studio, living on your laptop, working for free, and it literally never gets tired.
You say "coffee app for night-shift workers" → it dreams up a big pile of names, yeets the duds, double-checks the survivors, and hands you the best few with a reason for each. that's the whole vibe. ☕
Nomira is not a word blender with a thesaurus taped to it. it's the distilled habits of an entire craft.
We basically went to school on naming. 🎓 We sat with the published playbooks of the world's most respected naming studios. (You know the ones. Their names live in your pocket and you say them every single day without ever wondering who cooked them up.) We read the founders getting interviewed, watched the talks, pulled the transcripts so nothing got lost in translation.
Then we went deeper than the studios usually let on, into the actual science of why some words just feel right:
- 🔊 the psychology of sound. why "kee-kee" feels sharp and "boo-bah" feels round to basically everyone on Earth, in study after study, across languages, even with toddlers who can't read yet. real peer-reviewed research, not vibes.
- 🧲 how memory grabs a word. why some names stick on the first listen and others slide right off your brain.
- ⚖️ what the law will actually let you own. straight from the official trademark offices, so the name you fall for isn't one you can never have.
Hundreds of sources. one method. boiled down so the skill runs it the same careful way every single time. the afternoon you'd waste guessing is the afternoon Nomira spends working, except it's doing the job of a dozen specialists at once and doesn't need snacks.
🥷 behind that cute little
/nomiraprompt is a small army of experts who all happen to live inside the same program.
Nomira comes from the Latin nomen, meaning "name" (the same root behind nominate, noun, and renown). The soft -ira ending rounds it off so it lands like a real, ownable word instead of a label.
It fits because a name is exactly what it gives you, and because of how it got here: we pointed the skill at its own brief and let it run. It scored the field and handed back three finalists. Calliope actually scored highest, but we chose Nomira: coined, complete, clean to own. The tool earned the shortlist. The human made the call. That partnership is the whole idea. 🎓
Real studio process, automated. You stop once, near the start, to answer a few Qs. After that it runs the whole show solo. 🎬
🧑💻 you describe the thing
│
▼
1️⃣ INTAKE → asks a few sharp Qs, fills the rest with smart defaults
│
2️⃣ STRATEGY → locks the ONE idea the name has to carry
│
3️⃣ GENERATE → dreams up hundreds of names, judgment switched OFF
│
4️⃣ QUICK CUT → drops the unpronounceable, the copycats, the cringe
│
5️⃣ DEBATE → strategist 🆚 word-nerd 🆚 lawyer, fight!
│
6️⃣ SCREEN+SCORE → trademark + language checks, then cold honest numbers
│
▼
7️⃣ 🏆 SHORTLIST → your best names, each with a reason + a risk flag
why it's more than a vibes-based word generator:
- 🎯 meaning before words. no name gets made until the strategy is locked. a messy brief makes messy names, so this step quietly does half the work.
- 🔊 sound on purpose. soft sounds feel calm, hard sounds feel fast. Nomira matches the sound to the feeling you want, and it learned that from research, not taste.
- 🥊 it argues with itself. different expert voices score every name and throw hands over the close calls. survivors come out stronger.
- 🧮 the math can't lie. scoring runs through an actual program, not a gut feeling. break a rule → the score drops on its own. the numbers never quietly disagree with the reasoning.
- 🚧 honest about risk. you get a pre-check, not legal cover. it flags trademark danger + language traps, and straight-up tells you when a name needs a real lawyer.
You'll need Claude Code. Then:
git clone https://github.com/bazingga08/nomira.git
ln -s "$(pwd)/nomira/skill" ~/.claude/skills/nomiraThat second line points Claude Code at the skill. Open Claude Code, type /nomira, describe what you're naming. that's it. ⚡
/nomira
budgeting app for freelancers who hate spreadsheets.
calm + trustworthy, NOT a flashy finance-bro vibe.
a couple quick Qs later, you get back something like this 👇
🏆 TOP 3 PICKS
1. Tendio 84 🟢 Strong
coined: "tend" (to look after) + soft -io ending
sounds calm + careful, exactly the feeling you asked for
trademark: clean in the finance-app space. grab the .com 👀
2. Ledgerly 79 🟢 Strong
"ledger," but said like a human, not a spreadsheet
clear about what it does, still has warmth
trademark: a few neighbors, worth a proper search
3. Quill 71 🟡 Caution
real word: the pen freelancers invoice with
warm + simple, but heavily used → harder to own
trademark: crowded. handle with care
you pick one. you ship. you go touch grass. 🌱

└── research/ 🧠 the knowledge base behind it all, sources cited
it's all open. read it, fork it, tune the scoring weights to your own taste. the research/ folder is the real treasure: the distilled craft, laid out so you can see why it makes the calls it makes.
Nomira is a glow-up for your process, not a replacement for your brain.
- ⚖️ trademark pre-screen, not a clearance. get a real search before you commit.
- 🔊 the sound→meaning effect is a strong tendency, not a law. matters more for everyday consumer stuff than slow, careful B2B buys.
- 🫵 the taste is still yours. it gets you to a strong shortlist fast, but the final call (and selling it to your team) stays human.
🤯 the fun part: it named itself. we pointed the skill at its own brief and let it run. round one flopped. round two came back with three finalists: Calliope (87.5), Nomira (83.5), and Atlas. Calliope actually scored highest, but we picked Nomira: coined, complete, clean to own. which is the whole point: the scoreboard gets you a shortlist you'd be proud of, then a human makes the call. the taste stays yours.
