Companies House will reject a name if it is identical or "the same as" an existing registered company. The "same as" comparison strips out punctuation and special characters, standard endings (Limited, Ltd, PLC, LLP, etc.), and common words like "the", "and", "company", and "business". Some words and expressions are classified as "sensitive" and require approval from a relevant government body.

The generator suggests ideas, and you should always check availability before committing. Because it checks the live Companies House register, you can quickly see whether a suggested name clashes with an existing company. The final acceptance decision rests with Companies House.
A good name is distinctive, easy to spell and say, and free of clashes with existing companies or trademarks. It is worth avoiding generic descriptions, checking that a matching domain is available, and steering clear of sensitive words that need approval.
Not quite. Your name cannot be the same as, or too similar to, an existing registered company, and it cannot include sensitive or restricted words without approval. Certain endings such as Limited or Ltd are usually required for private limited companies.
Yes, it is wise to. A name being free at Companies House does not mean it is free of trademark rights, and using a name that infringes a registered trademark can lead to a legal challenge. Searching the UK trademark register is a sensible extra step.
