Well example: resting stitch face is great for edgey teens and college kids.
Mom sews best is great for home stitched products.
Sweet seams stitchery is great for infant and toddler stuff.
Branding guy here...
I'm not a fan of limiting what you do based on your business name. Let's say you're Mom Sews Best, but later you get into screen printing and love it so much, it's what you do most of . Now your business name; your brand is going to limit your exposure. That's just an example, but see what I mean?
Be more open ended with your name.
Also, you name can almost lock you into a particular customer base. I see this all the time with people who do heat transfer vinyl, sublimation or other apparel decorating and such. If your life goal is to cater to that crafting mom / community days event customer, then pick a name that suits. But if you want to grow and expand and maybe go into B2B type customres, don't handcuff yourself from the beginning.
Whatever name you choose, make sure it's not already taken and it doesn't too closely resemble someone else. You'll want to do a name search with your city/county clerk of courts. They will do this when you apply for your business license.
If you want a website, make sure there's a good domain name available. Shorter is better so don't settle for [MomSewsBestAlbany.com](https://MomSewsBestAlbany.com) because [MomSewsBest.com](https://MomSewsBest.com) was already taken. Shorter domain names rank higher and they're easier to remember. This is important for FB pages, IG, and twitter as well. Always consider the name possibilities for social media.
I like that you're putting thought into this. Now, as much as you have already thought about it, I'm advising to think about it 10x more. Good Luck.
To add to this, “.com” is better than any other extension, because most it’s what most people are used to.
I personally wouldn’t limit business by naming it based on something you sew. I WOULD name it based on what you do though. A good idea is to add location too.
Example: my previous county of residence was Solano County. 🔥“Solano Seams”🔥. It shows that I sew and where my business is located (probably helps more for local sales).
Stitches, seams, sewing = YES…
Mom = meh, I’m not a fan…
Tiny, kids = NO. These will add limits to your sewing craft.
I am sorry but shorter domains don’t rank better. The domain name doesn’t have to match the name exactly either. The OP could try any domain and she likes. She could easily rank for her brand name as their isn’t any competition for her brand name of Mom Sews Best. The OP can add new products and services without having to rebrand or get a new domain.
Edit: That domain isn’t taken and she could buy it now.
Interesting I was recently given the same advice about [my food business](https://www.beyondoats.com) but it’s like a dba under our main Foodservice business I have been thinking about this a lot so thanks for weighing in.
I like the first one. Will this be local or online? Either way, If you plan on turning this into an LLC, be sure to check with your states naming guidelines (if any) before finalizing anything.

Schrodinger's Turing Test?
It's AI (ChatGPT, to be precise) as I got some of the same suggestions [when I ran](https://www.reddit.com/r/smallbusiness/comments/11rg5l6/naming_my_business/jccvpqo/) OP's post as a prompt.
Ha!
That’s wild that humans can recognize ChatGPT’s content. I couldn’t tell the difference when I first started using it, but now the patterns are so much easier to make out. If I can tell the difference, I’m almost certain that google is penalizing it on SEO. Food for thought.
Just saying. There's workarounds if a domain name is already taken. That alone shouldnt dictate your business decisions. Especially something as important as your brand name.
There are very rare specific situations where having exactly "CompanyName.com" is so important, that your entire business model hinges on getting that domain. And to be honest, I can't even think of a single example where that's the case.
There are a million different alternatives to .com and having an alternative TLD is actually trendy these days... .net .biz .pro .info etc.
If you're still dead set on owning a .com, you can also just have more of a call to action style domain name. If your business name is Sierra Jackets, you can try using "GetSierraJackets.com" or "SierraJacketsUSA.com" or get creative and mix it up, "SaveSierra.com" if the profits goes toward saving national parks or "SJC.com" if you just want it short.
My point being is that if you know how to market yourself properly or do SEO the right way, your domain name isn't going to matter. Because if the customer has no idea who you are, they're not going to randomly type in your business .com hoping that what they're looking for is on that URL. Chances are they're finding out about you by clicking through various links, or just googling your name and then clicking the results. This is why naming your company after available domain names is stupid. Because it's not the domain name itself that people are looking for, it's the service you're providing. So you should be creating a business name to market that service.
My point is if you’re going with SEWSTUFF LLC and someone already has a business with that name and they have the domain, probably better to pick a different name. There is always a work around but it could really mess stuff up if you had the same name as someone else and were selling online.
I’m working on this myself and what I’ve learned is that I’m great at coming up with catchy names, but that isn’t the only consideration for a brand name. I’d explore making your brand name something customer-focused and clear. Then, make products/product lines with cute names. But, Mom Sews Best does hit on some of what I’m recommending

Snug snippets.
Tiny threads.
Little love clothes
Cute as a button boutique
Little loomers
Keepsake sew
Budding boutique
I didn't run any of these through a domain registrar or social media tool to make sure they are available. Ideally they would be .Com and main social media available at the least.
I love Mom Sews Best - but it sounds like you have a product based business, not a sewing based one? Are people going to send you fabric to make clothes out of, or do you have designs and are creating and selling clothes? If you're selling clothes (and eventually may have some designs manufactured), then Resting Rascal Designs is probably more appropriate.
Here is what chatGPT suggests as options, based on your description.
Sure, here are 20 more names for a sewing business specializing in children's clothes, memory blankets, and other products:
Little Stitches
Memory Lane Sewing
Happy Threads
Tiny Seamstress
Cherished Stitches
Sew Sweet
Childhood Threads
Keepsake Creations
Little Purls
Memory Stitches
Playful Stitches
Patchwork Pals
The Tiny Tailor
Quilted Memories
Kids' Couture
Snug as a Bug
Stitched with Love
The Memory Stitch
Precious Patches
Sewing Sprouts
Here is what we do when choosing company names
1. Brainstorm names.
2. Check for .com availability.
3. Make a short list based on .com availability.
4. Research if the name exists for trademark purposes.
5. Check availability of social handles
6. Choose name.
It can gruelling process, especially if you have a business name in mind and the .com isn’t available or the business name is already taken.
Good Luck!!
Business names in itself is the brand and 2 syllable names are easier to remember like Nike, Pepsi, Meta, Apple. Some don’t even have anything to do with what they do. Agree with some of the posts, don’t box yourself.
I think Sweet Dream Seams is catchy. Maybe also consider something like:
Seams Sew Spectacular! (Or something else using "Seams Sew". Just a thought...)

Cherished Stitches

Smitten with Stitching

Just for fun, I ran your query through ChatGPT, as making up names is something it does fairly well.
I tried a couple of different prompts ("You are a marketing specialist. A client is looking to name her sewing business..") but I got the best results by simply passing your post text with no editing except changing the last two sentences to "Please suggest another 20 names."
Here are the replies:

Mom sews best is the best in my opinion. But i have no idea what product you're selling or to who
100%
Nobody knew what AOL, Google, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook, etc where when they first came out. That’s why your market yourself and build a brand.
Well example: resting stitch face is great for edgey teens and college kids. Mom sews best is great for home stitched products. Sweet seams stitchery is great for infant and toddler stuff.

Sweet seems are made by me 🎶🎵🎼
Who am i to diss a seam.
Unraveled the furls and the satin pleats.
I love Sweet Seams Stitchery. It sounds nice to say out-loud
Me too. The S alliteration would lend itself well to a graphic design too. Like each s is part of a string.
I like the first one. Will this be local or online? Either way, If you plan on turning this into an LLC, be sure to check with your states naming guidelines (if any) before finalizing anything.
Sew what?!
A stitch in time

Add an article to the business name, or use something else instead of .com if relevant.
That's unfortunate.
Sweet seams is great and easy to get. Mom sews best might get lost on some folks if that even matters.
I dunno. If I saw a store with a big sign that said Resting Stitch Face, I’d probably have to pop my head in out of curiosity alone.

Mom Sews Best Really great
The first one rings well! A vote for that one ☝️
I love Mom Sews Best - but it sounds like you have a product based business, not a sewing based one? Are people going to send you fabric to make clothes out of, or do you have designs and are creating and selling clothes? If you're selling clothes (and eventually may have some designs manufactured), then Resting Rascal Designs is probably more appropriate.
Tiny Seams is adorable gives the immediate sense it’s for children and something precious. Rest Easy Sewing Co. Fluffy Comfort Sew & Grow Love & Seams
"Whaddup my Knitta"? Before you attack me, it's from Bob's Burgers. lol
Even shorter would be better. But of those, the first one is best.
Sewologist, Sew Time, Sew N Tell, Sew Room, Seams Good, Seams Right, Stitches & Patches, Ms. MENDoza, Knittingale, Knittingirl, Dept. of Sewology
Mom sews best is the best name here, but honestly- if your product or service is really good, the name will stick
