Here are some helpful steps on how to com up with a podcast name without spending too much time:

For example, if you are planning to launch a podcast about horror stories, you shall choose a title that reflects the element of horror. Similarly, consider the theme of your podcast. If your podcast involves direct stories from your participants, it is better to choose a title that reflects the element of “true story” for your podcast.
Keep it Succinct Most platforms offer you a limited space to write your podcast name. Keep in mind that you must adhere to the platform’s guidelines when writing your podcast title. Apart from the character and word limit for your podcast name, you shall also bear in mind that your podcast title should be simple, short and easy to pronounce. If you can cover your podcast’s theme in 2 words, then there is no need to add another word. The goal is to keep your podcast’s name simple, succinct and easy to remember.
Convey Your Brand Voice Most podcasters completely disregard the concept of keeping a consistent brand voice while choosing their podcast name. Once you have successfully decided the brand voice during your research and strategy phase, it is important to transfer those brand voice elements to your podcast as well. For example, if your brand voice is friendly, your podcast title should reflect an element of trustworthiness, connection or bonding to your show’s listeners.
Ask Your Potential Audience Your audience’s opinions about your show are a treasure trove of information for coming up with a great podcast name. If you have established a brand community, conduct a survey to see the dominant sentiment about your brand among your audience. You can also test different podcast title idea options to see the reactions of your audience during early stages of podcasting. Your potential listeners are better sources of ideas to come up with a great show title.
Say The Name Out Loud Easy to pronounce Podcast names are more memorable than difficult podcast names. Thus, once you finalize potential good podcast names, try saying each one out loud. If the podcast title is easy to pronounce, go for it. You can also use words with the same weight to impart an element of consistency and balance in your podcast title.
Ensure Searchability Another important thing to take care of while choosing a show name is to ensure searchability of your show. In general, podcast names should not include any special characters. It is also recommended to use podcast names which have a keyword in it. For example, a podcast name for a pet category may include the keyword “pets” in its title.
If you are struggling to get a hang of the method for naming your podcast, here are some quick tips on how to create a podcast name: • Brainstorm Ideas: Brainstorm different ideas to speed up content ideation and list them down. Choose the ideas that are short in length and sound good for your show.
