Did you know one of the hardest things to do when starting a company is thinking of a name or slogan? That’s why companies are willing to dish out hundreds of dollars to get a good name, slogan and at times logos. Why? Well when someone decides to start a business, charity or organization they would need a name that mirrors what they are all about and at the same time catchy and easy to remember. A company’s name can determine how popular the company is and how much money it makes. The best way to find which name sticks with the people the best is to have the people propose and vote on each others name and pay for the rights to use the best one.
Which sites offer this opportunity?
Squadhelp
On this site there are contest posted by companies through which they request a logo, name, or slogan. You can submit an along entry with dozens of other people. All participants will vote amongst each other for the best name and in the end the company will pick the their favorite and pay the winner. The average payment is about one hundred and twenty dollars. You can learn more after signing up here.
Naming force
This site is very similar to squad help but it I only accessible in the U.S. and only deals with names.
There are other sites like picky domains, name station and name contest.com that offer similar opportunity.
What if I need a name and don't want to pay any money to host a competition.
Don't worry about that I also have a list of free name generators which will help you with brainstorming new names.

Thanks for the list! I'm the creator of a free Android app that generates names for different genres. Is there's any interest, I can add business naming and slogan generators. My app is called FantaGen.
That would be great help, especially for the people who plan to apply to squadhelp and name force. Thanks.
Cool! I'll put this onto my roadmap for the app.
