Component names are an API. Every time a developer imports <PrimaryButton /> or a designer drags an AvatarStack onto a frame, the name is doing work — it has to say what the component is, follow the casing the framework expects, and stay consistent with the hundred other components around it. This generator is built around those conventions: PascalCase for component identifiers, a clear noun at the core (Button, Card, Modal, Avatar, Field), and modifiers that go in front (PrimaryButton, not ButtonPrimary) so related components sort and read predictably. Each click returns 60 candidates that look like names a real design system would ship.

The hard part of component naming isn't a single name — it's consistency across a set. If you have a Button, your icon-only variant should be IconButton, your grouped buttons a ButtonGroup, and your loading state a ButtonSpinner, not a scatter of ad-hoc labels. The generator leans into that systematic feel, producing families and modifier patterns (Stack, Group, Item, Sheet, Field, Toggle) that compose cleanly. Because designers and developers share these names across Figma and code, a predictable convention saves a constant translation tax.

Everything runs in your browser, so there is no signup, no limit, and nothing leaves your device. The names are free to use. They aren't checked against your existing component tree, so confirm a name doesn't already exist in your library and that it matches your framework's casing rules before you adopt it. Favourite the strongest candidates and regenerate until the set hangs together.

What This Generator Does

The UI Component Name Generator produces clear, convention-following names for components in a design system or codebase — names like PrimaryButton, AvatarStack, or ModalSheet that read predictably in code and Figma alike. It returns 60 candidates per click, favouring PascalCase, a descriptive noun core, and sensible modifiers, so the names slot straight into React, Vue, or a component library.

Who It Is For

It suits front-end developers and design-system engineers naming components, and designers who maintain a Figma component library that must mirror the codebase. Teams establishing naming conventions across a shared UI kit will use it to keep a large component set coherent.

When To Use It

Reach for it when adding a component to a design system, refactoring an inconsistent component tree, or aligning Figma layer names with code so a Button is a Button in both places.

Expert Takeaways

Use PascalCase for component identifiers — it's the convention React and Vue expect.
Put the modifier in front: PrimaryButton, not ButtonPrimary, so siblings sort together.
Keep a clear noun at the core so the name says what the component is.

✓ Best Practices

Use PascalCase for all component identifiers.

Lead with the modifier and keep a clear noun core.

Name variant families with a consistent, composable pattern.

Keep design-system names in sync with code names.

Express styling through variants and props, not the name.

Avoid non-standard abbreviations.

Reserve primitive names for genuinely primitive components.

Keep names concise enough to import and read comfortably.

Make the name describe purpose, not appearance.

Verify uniqueness in the component tree before adopting a name.

✗ Common Mistakes

Using the wrong casing (camelCase or kebab-case) for a component identifier.

Putting modifiers after the noun (ButtonPrimary) so families don't sort together.

Encoding visual styling in the name, like BlueButton, instead of using variants.

Cryptic abbreviations (Btn, Mdl) that the next developer has to decode.

Inconsistent variant naming so IconButton sits beside ButtonIcon.

Vague names like Box2 or Component1 that say nothing about purpose.

Letting Figma names drift from code names so the two libraries disagree.

Overloading one generic name (Card) for several different components.

Names so long they're painful to import and read in JSX.

Adopting a name without checking it's free in the existing component tree.

Professional Tips

Use PascalCase for component identifiers — it's the convention React and Vue expect.
Put the modifier in front: PrimaryButton, not ButtonPrimary, so siblings sort together.
Keep a clear noun at the core so the name says what the component is.
Name variant families consistently — IconButton, ButtonGroup, ButtonSpinner.
Avoid abbreviations that aren't universally understood, like Btn or Avtr.
Match the design-system name to the code name so Figma and the repo agree.
Reserve generic names like Box and Stack for genuinely primitive layout pieces.
Don't encode styling (BlueButton) in the name; use props or variants instead.
Keep names singular for one item (CardItem) and plural-aware for lists (CardGrid).
Confirm the name isn't already taken in your component tree before adopting it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the UI Component Name Generator free?

Yes. It is completely free with no account, no limits, and no watermark. The names are free to use in any project.

How many component names do I get per click?

Each click returns a batch of about 60 candidate names. Generate again as often as you like.

Why are the names in PascalCase?

Component identifiers in React, Vue, and most frameworks use PascalCase by convention — it distinguishes a component from an HTML element. The generator follows that so names drop straight into your code.

Should the modifier go before or after the noun?

Before. PrimaryButton and IconButton keep the shared noun at the end, so all Button variants sort and read together. ButtonPrimary scatters the family and is harder to scan.

How do I keep a component family consistent?

Pick one pattern and apply it across variants — Button, IconButton, ButtonGroup, ButtonSpinner. The generator leans toward composable suffixes like Stack, Group, and Item to support this.

Should I put colors or styles in the name?

No. Avoid names like BlueButton. Encode appearance through variants and props, and keep the component name about its purpose, so restyling doesn't force a rename.

Does it check my existing component tree?

No. It does not know your codebase. Before adopting a name, confirm it isn't already used and that it matches your framework's casing and lint rules.

How do I keep Figma and code names aligned?

Use the same name in both — a Button in code should be a Button in the Figma library. Matching names removes the translation tax between designers and developers.

What should I enter as input?

Enter the component's core noun, such as Button, Card, Modal, or Avatar. The generator builds convention-following names and variants around that concept.

Are my inputs sent to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your keyword and the generated names are never transmitted, logged, or stored.

Should I use abbreviations like Btn?

Avoid them unless they are universally understood on your team. Full nouns like Button read more clearly and reduce onboarding friction for new developers.

Can I save names I like?

Yes. The favourites tray shortlists names across batches, and the recent list keeps your latest generations available.
