I may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

In the last 20 years, I’ve named dozens of businesses, including our Personal Chef Business, Magic Meals Personal Chefs.
Some of my earliest businesses had terrible names, because I didn’t know what I was doing and I made some horrific mistakes.
This article is going to do two things; help you understand the characteristics of a good business name while helping you avoid some of my early blunders, and then I’ve created a list of name ideas for a Personal Chef Business that I hope will inspire you.
What Makes A Good Name For A New Personal Chef Business?
A good name for a small business has three characteristics:
- Clear
- Memorable
- Short
The Name Of A Personal Chef Business Must Be Clear
When I say “Clear” I mean that the name of your new business must clearly define what your business offers.
Now before you bail on this article because you are thinking about countless businesses whose name is not clear; Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch, Dillons, JC Penny, Tesla, etc…let’s talk about those brands.
It is true that each of those businesses have a name that is not clear and they get away with it because they are such a well known brand.
Each became a well known brand through decades of spending millions of advertising dollars to establish their brands. If you don’t have decades and millions of dollars, you should just start with a clear business name.
One of my first businesses was a comic book store that I bought for my first wife. We named that business “The GateKeeper”. It was a terrible name. People had no idea what that little store was even when they pulled up in front of it.
Later we changed it to “GateKeeper Hobbies”. That’s better, but still not clear enough.
What about the business name “Stacey’s Fine Food”?
Terrible name, no one knows what service I offer.
Now these names can be improved with a Tag Line, and we’ll dig into those later. But for now, just focus on a making sure that your new business’ name is clear.
Your New Personal Chef Business’ Name Needs To Be Memorable
You don’t want people struggling to come up with your business’ name when they are trying to tell a friend about your service.
The name needs to be unique and flow off the tongue.
I like business names where the words that make up the name flow easily. I like Magic Meals because the words both start with “M” and it just flows.
When we started our business as a personal chef business, our business name was “Magic Meals Personal Chefs”. As we grew into a meal delivery business, our name transitioned into “Magic Meals Home Delivery”.
Both names are memorable and clear.
The Name Of Your New Personal Chef Business Must Be Short
The name of your new business needs to be short enough that you can easily fit it on marketing material.
“Magic Meals Personal Chefs” is about as long as I want a business name to get.
Often people in my community will refer to our business as just “Magic Meals” but when anyone sees marketing material (either printed or digital), they find the entire name.
Tag Lines Help Clarify A Business Name
A tag line is a short phrase that nearly always appears with a business’ name. It’s purpose is to further clarify what problem the business solves or service that it offers.
I think all small businesses need a tag line to go with their business name.
While we started out as Personal Chefs, our business grew to become a Prepared Meal Delivery Business. Below are two versions of our logo, one of which appears on all of our marketing material.


As you can see, our tag line is “meals just like magic”. It helps clarify what service we offer.
Below I’m going to give you a list of ideas for personal chef tag lines, but first, let me share a list of personal chef business name ideas.

I hope these lists got your creative juices flowing.
From here I recommend that you start with a list of names that you liked and then brainstorm to add more.
Armed with that list, start crossing off your least favorites
Once you’re down to a handful of good names, go to GoDaddy and see if you can find a good domain name for each potential name. Cross off any names that you can’t find a good domain name for (it doesn’t have to be exact).
Finally, try to come up with your 30-second elevator pitch using each name. I bet that exercise will help you find the right name.
Good Luck!
