How to Choose a Clever Book Club Name

The name you choose for your book club will set the tone for your club and can play a big role in attracting like-minded members. 

In this part of this post, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step process to help you choose a unique and clever name for your new book club.

Understanding Your Book Club

Choosing a name for your book club is a process and should not be taken too lightly. The name of your book club should ideally reflect the club’s identity, so first off you should have this identity clear in your mind. 

A book club name that clearly reflects the identity of the people in the group will help attract the right members and will set the tone for your meetings

Define your book club’s identity

To define your book club’s identity you need to ask yourself the right questions. The aim is to identify what your book club is all about. So ask yourself:

1. What is your mission? Why are you setting up this book club?
2. What types of books will you be reading? 
3. What is the atmosphere you want to create within the reading group? 

Having answers to these questions will help you define your book club’s identity, and this will guide you in the naming process.

Consider the genre or types of books you’ll be reading

The genre or types of books your reading group will focus on can be a great source of inspiration for your name. 

For example, if you’re focusing on mystery novels, something like ‘The Mystery Book Club’ or ‘The Whodunit Reading Group’ could be fitting.

Think about the members of your book club

Consider the demographics of your book club members. Are they young adults, seniors, professionals, students, or a mix? 

By understanding your audience you can come up with a name that resonates with them and helps attract new members.

Brainstorming Book Club Name Ideas

So once you have identified the real identity and scope of your book club it’s time to start brainstorming name ideas. 

At this point you should just be jotting down any Book club name ideas that come to mind. So don’t overthink it. We will clean up the list later on.

Here are some tips to help you with this process

If you already have some members, involve them in the brainstorming process. They might come up with ideas you hadn’t thought of. Plus, they’ll feel more invested in the book club if they help name it.

Use book titles or author names

Think about titles from your favorite books or the names of authors you prefer. These can be included as part of your book club name. 

Just be sure to check for any copyright or trademark issues first.

Use literary terms or locations

Literary terms or famous locations from books can also provide inspiration. 

Names like ‘The Metaphor Society’ or ‘Pemberley Book Club’ can be unique and immediately signal your love of literature.

Use a Book Club Name generator

Book club name generators can be a fun and easy way to get the creative juices flowing. 

These online tools generate a variety of names based on keywords or categories you input. Don’t expect them to give you the perfect name, but, if anything, they will help you come up with new ideas and help you think outside the box. 

Remember, the goal of brainstorming is to generate as many ideas as possible. Don’t judge or dismiss any ideas at this stage. From my experience, even the most outlandish suggestions could eventually lead to a great name.

Tips for Choosing Your Book Club Name

Now that you have a list of potential names that you brainstormed in the previous step, you can proceed to the next step of the process. This is where you refine your list of brainstormed names to create a shortlist of 4 or 5 names. 

This is where you’ll start to consider other factors, such as your book club’s identity, target group members and so on.

Here are some tips and considerations to keep in mind as you whittle down your list.

Reflect Your on Group’s Personality

I know I already mentioned this at the start of this section, but that’s how important this step is!

Your book club’s name should be a reflection of your group’s personality. If your meetings are formal and structured, a serious, traditional name might be best. 

If your meetings are more casual and social, a fun, quirky name could be a better fit. 

So take a good look at your list and ask yourself which names best capture the spirit of your club.

Simplicity is Key

It might be tempting to choose a really clever and complex name, but as a naming consultant with a few years of experience under my belt, I can assure you that  it’s better to keep things simple. 

You want a name that’s easy to remember and pronounce, and one that can be easily searched for online. 

I therefore suggest you cross off any names on your list that are too complicated or difficult to spell.

Creativity is important for a Book Club Name

Creativity is the spice that will give your book club name its flavor. It’s will help make your club stand out and get potential members interested to know more about it. 

There are various creative strategies you can use when refining your list of potential book club names. Here are a few of my go-to creativity hacks:

• Wordplay and puns can add a fun and playful element to your book club name. They can be especially effective if your book club has a light-hearted, social atmosphere. For example, a club that reads mystery novels might choose a name like ‘The Plot Thickens’ or ‘Cliffhanger Crew’. If your reading group focuses on romance novels you might go for something like ‘Love at First Page’. Don’t be afraid to get a little silly here. 
• Combining words is another good method to get more creative. This could involve merging parts of different words, or simply putting two whole words together. For example, a book club that reads science fiction could combine ‘galaxy’ and ‘readers’ to create ‘GalaxyReaders’. Or, a club that reads historical fiction might combine ‘past’ and ‘pages’ to create ‘PastPages’. The possibilities are endless really.
• Feel free to create new words. You don’t have to be limited by existing words. You could alter an existing word, or invent something completely new. Creating a new word can give your book club a unique, memorable name that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

Creativity is all about breaking the rules and thinking outside the box, so don’t be afraid to take risks and try something new. 

Longevity of Your Book Club Name

With longevity, I mean, think about whether the name will still be relevant and appropriate a few years down the line. 

To ensure this, you want to avoid trendy phrases or words that might get out-dated quickly. In other words, you want a name that will stand the test of time, so consider whether each name on your list meets this criterion.

After going through the list and taking account of the tips mentioned above you should now have a short-list consisting of a handful of possible book club names. In the next section we conclude the process by going through some final exercises to select the final name.

Finalizing the Book Club Name

Before you start printing any leaflets, or creating banners about your book club, make sure that the chosen name is definitely the one.

Here are three final steps to ensure this.

Test the Name Out

Say it out loud, write it down, and ask others for their opinion. 

Does it sound good? Is it easy to spell and pronounce? This can be a fun activity to do with your book club members. 

You might be surprised at the feedback you receive, and it could help you narrow down your list even further.

Vote on the best name

Once you’ve got a shortlist, have your members vote on their favorite name. This ensures everyone feels involved in the decision-making process.

Register or reserve the name if necessary

If you plan on creating a website or social media pages for your book club, you’ll want to check if the name is available. You may also want to consider registering the name to protect it.

It’s crucial to check their availability across various online platforms for various reasons.

Avoiding Confusion: You don’t want your book club to be mistaken for another club or, worse, a completely unrelated business. 

Trademark Infringement: You need to ensure that your chosen name isn’t infringing on any existing trademarks. Infringement can lead to legal issues and could force you to change your name down the line.

Consistency Across Platforms: Having the same name across all online platforms helps in building a strong, recognizable brand. It makes it easier for potential members to find and engage with your club online.

Here’s a quick process you can follow to conduct a research on your chosen name.

1. Start with a simple Google search of your potential book club names. This can help you see if there are any other clubs or businesses using the same or a similar name.
2. Check popular social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Even if you don’t plan on using all of these platforms right away, it’s a good idea to reserve your name on them for future use.
3. If you plan on creating a website for your book club, you’ll need to check if your desired domain name is available. Websites like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Bluehost allow you to search for domain names. Ideally, you should aim for a ‘.com’ domain as it’s the most recognized and trusted domain extension. If your book club is specific to a certain country, then a country-specific Top-Level Domain like ‘.co.uk’ for the United Kingdom or ‘.ca’ for Canada could also be suitable.
4. Check trademark databases to ensure your chosen name isn’t trademarked. In the United States, you can use the USPTO’s trademark database. 

You might think that this last step is an overstretch, but if you want to ensure that you won’t be going through this whole process once again in a few months’ time then it’s worth taking the time to research and ensure that your chosen name is unique, available, and legally sound.
