Strategies for picking bakery names

1. Spy the competition for inspiration

The first strategy you can use to nail a perfect bakery name is to research what the pacesetters in the baking industry are doing.

Your contenders are leading the market for a reason. Therefore, it’s a good idea to study them. Understand their market positioning, sales tactics, and, yes, their names.

Three real-life examples of bakery business names

Let’s go over three names of existing bakeries and what makes them effective.

Apple Pie Bakery Cafe (Hyde Park, NY)
Apple Pie Bakery bakery name example

What strikes you about this name is its simplicity. Customers know exactly what they will get when they walk into this bakery. Plus, the name pushes the brand’s signature product (apple pie) among other offerings.

Zak The Baker (Miami, FL)
Zak The Baker bakery shop name example

First off, this bakery name is short so it’s easy to remember. Also, it puts “Zak”, the founder’s first name, front and center, which is a powerful branding strategy to make the company appear approachable.

As Kneaded Bakery (San Leandro, CA)
As Kneaded bakery name example

A little creativity adds a spark to this bakery name, making it unique and memorable. Through a clever use of wordplay, (kneaded for needed) As Kneaded Bakery crafted an original name that’s instantly noticeable and unforgettable.

Similarly, research and dissect existing bakery and pastry company names in your niche.

Some niches include:

  • Wedding cakes and celebration cakes
  • Pies and pastries
  • Muffins
  • Specialty bread like multigrain bread, artisan flatbread
  • Commercial breads
  • Biscuits and cookies
  • Pet treats
  • Cupcakes
  • Macarons
  • Frozen bakery products

Examine the names of bakeries in your niche and…

Pick words that suit bakeries

As you examine competitor bakery names, you will notice a trend.

The same words pop up again and again.

Below are some words associated with bakeries you will see among others.

  • Oven
  • Bake
  • Flake
  • Fresh
  • Dough
  • Knead
  • Pastry
  • Cakes
  • Deli
  • Pâtisserie
  • Pies
  • Sweet
  • Delights
  • Cookies
  • Cream
  • Treat
  • Biscuits
  • Croissant
  • Bread
  • Organic

Also, consider the top-level domain extensions they use.

Identify the best top-level domain (TLD) extensions for bakeries

Besides the ever-popular .com domain, here are common TLDs in the bakery industry.

  • .store
  • .shop
  • .studio
  • .spot
  • .house
  • .review
  • .kitchen
  • .cooking
  • .catering
  • .cafe
  • .recipes
  • .eat
  • .food
  • .kosher
  • .organic
  • .menu
  • .express

Check to see if these extensions are available when choosing your bakery name.

2. Include your location in your bakery name

Another approach you can take, is to throw your location into the mix.

Using your location makes locals identify with your bakery. They’ll take you as a brand from their neighborhood that deserves their support. You saw us do this with the list of location-based bakery names earlier. If you want to quickly see it again, click here.

Also, don’t feel that you need to be limited to official names only. Popular nicknames for your city or neighborhood work just as well – and even better in some cases. For instance, if you are from Miami, you can name your bakery business The Magic City Oven.

3. Use sensory language to spark interest

Next, to make your bakery name pop and fizz, consider using sensory words. We covered examples of those as well. Click here to go back to that list.

Sensory words are terms that arouse the five senses. They make people taste, see, smell, touch, and feel what you are talking about. A study found that our brains grasp sensory words faster than ordinary words. So, by using sensory words in your bakery business name, your company comes alive in consumers’ minds.

They are more likely to think of your brand when they want to buy bakery products. So spice up your name by sprinkling sensory words into it.

4. Keep it short and sweet so it’s memorable

In addition, when choosing a brand name, it’s typically wise to keep it short.

The longer your name, the harder it becomes for people to remember it. And, if consumers forget your brand, it means they’ll buy from your competitors whose names they can recall quickly.

Secondly, using too many words increases the risk of typos when people search for your company online.

The result?

They won’t find you. So keep your name short.

As you saw in our example lists earlier, most were two to three words. There were a few four-word ones, and only a single five-word one. The singular five-word example only made the list because it plays on such a well-known phrase that, despite its length, is actually very catchy and memorable: Bake it ’til You Make it.

Rare exceptions like the above aside, the overriding rule when it comes to bakery names is that shorter is better.

5. Infuse some alliteration into your bakery name

Nothing beats alliteration if you want a melodic bakery name. Alliteration is repeating the same consonant sound in a series of connected words.

But how exactly can you alliterate a bakery name?

It’s easy.

Draw up a random list of words associated with your bakery niche or specialty. List as many words as you can. Then group words with similar sounds. Finally, pair these words to get your alliterated name. Feel free to add another word that’s not on the list as long as it has your target sound and helps you complete your word pairings.

Let’s see how this might work if you want to open a pie bakery.

Some words related to pie are tart, patty, pastry, crust, fruit, confection, popover, or savory. From our partial list, three words start with the letter p. Let’s pick two and add one that’s not on the list but ties in nicely with our pair.

Popover + Pastry + Place = Popover Pastry Place

And just like that you have yourself an alliteration-focused bakery name.

If you’d like, you can also click here to go back to our alliteration-inspired bakery name list for some done-for-you ideas.

6. Add your own name

Another way you can create a unique bakery name is to add your own name. This serves to make your brand more personable and memorable. We covered examples of these in the personification bakery names list. Click here to go back to it.

You can also combine this technique with the other techniques we covered, like alliteration and use of sensory language.

7. Use a bakery name generator tool

Finally, probably the easiest way to find a good bakery name is to use the bakery name generator at the top of this page.

No doubt, generating bakery business name ideas manually can work.

But using a bakery name generator is just so much faster. It gives you tons of name ideas at the click of a button.

Plus, if you’re interested in registering your bakery name as a domain name for a website, you can also use the optional Check Domains toggle on the bottom right of the generator to do that. This will prompt the generator to not only give you bakery name ideas, but to also check if there are available domain names for those suggestions.

Toggling the "Check Domains" option on the bakery name generator.

Once you get the results, if you see a name you like, then you can click on View Domains to see the available domains related to it. Alternatively, if you’d like to explore more options, then you can navigate to the bottom of the results and click on Load More.

If you don’t plan on launching a website for your bakery just yet and are still in the brainstorming phase, then simply leave the Check Domains toggle off (it’s off by default), and use the bakery name generator that way.

However, it’s worth noting that if you eventually do plan on launching a website, then it’s probably a good idea to choose a bakery name that does have an available domain name. Although your domain name doesn’t have to be an exact match with your bakery name, it does make things a lot easier – so why not check now?
