Step 3: Choose your Etsy shop name
Choosing your Etsy shop name is an important step. Perhaps you have already been trading under name or maybe this is the first time you’ve thought about it, but do spend some time thinking about this as you want your shop name to be memorable reflect your brand.
Etsy does have some rules about names. All shop names must be:
Between 4 and 20 characters long
Free from profanities
Not trademarked by another business
Free from spaces or special characters (if you want a name which is more than one word long you will have to write it like this example: CreativeNameIdeas)
Not already in use by an existing Etsy member
If the name you had wanted is already being used, Etsy will make suggestions of similar names which are still available.
