Tips for choosing a name

1

Keep it under 4 words — shorter names are easier to remember, share, and remember on your RSVP page.

2

Test it out loud. If it feels good to say and easy to type, it works.

3

Check availability on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and as a domain — your community will find you online.

4

Avoid year-specific language — your group will outlive the 2026 reference.

5

Ask 3–5 people from your community if the name feels safe and welcoming. Does it signal who you're for?

6

A name that evokes feeling ("Queer Joy") connects better than a name that only describes the activity.

7

Consider your vibe: are you building a safe professional space, a fun social hub, or both? The name should signal this.

8

If you're an ally-led group, choose a name that acknowledges LGBTQ+ leadership and doesn't center the ally role.
