What goes into a great Facebook Group name?

If you’re creating a Facebook Group–whether it’s for a small group of friends or for your business community–the name is important.

When we’re naming a community, we love to think about the three things to make it PERFECT! Here’s what they are:

Memorable—The name you choose for your Facebook Group should be easy to remember. After all, people should be able to find you again.

Sharable—You’re going to want other members to join. So a great Facebook Group name lets you easily add others into the mix! (And lets your group members share it.)

Descriptive—Finally, people coming into a Facebook Group need to be able to figure out what it’s about. So that should be easy to guess from the name!

Here are some awesome examples of community names that are pretty self-explanatory:

• The Slow AF Run Club = Slow runners.


• Flower Boss Academy = Florists who run five and six-figure businesses


• The Storage Rebellion = Self-Storage owners.

But wait. What if a Facebook Group alternative could build your community automatically?

Before you build a group on Facebook, we’d love to tell you about Mighty Networks. Mighty brings community, courses, content, and commerce together and gives you the power to build a membership business.

Facebook Groups are a go-to community builder for a lot of people. After all, they’re free! But there are some real disadvantages to building on Facebook. You’ll fight with the algorithm for your members’ attention – everything from Grandma’s new boyfriend to funny cat videos. There are serious limits on the content and no real way to organize it.

And–probably worse–Facebook Groups doesn’t let you build a community-run business, selling memberships, courses, events, and more.

Imagine a community engine with all the power of a Facebook Group, but a ton more features. Things like:

• Scheduling and hosting live events


• Live streaming


• Selling pre-recorded courses


• Selling live courses


• Chatting and messaging with members


• Hosting discussions


• Creating polls and questions


• Using # and @ to organize your convos

Imagine creating a business that can sell memberships, courses, events, or bundling any of these things into packages. And you can sell in 135 different currencies, or even monetize with token-gating!

Oh yeah, and one more thing. Our AI community generator, Mighty Co-Host™, can automatically generate your community for you – a community so good you can charge for it and so well-designed it basically runs itself.

Ready for your Big Purpose

Every great community needs a Big Purpose. And a Facebook Group is no exception. As part of this process, we’ll help you find one.

Why do we make finding a Big Purpose part of this naming process? Why would we add it to a Facebook Group name generator? Well, we’ve seen thousands of communities, and we find that successful ones have these things in common.

Their Hosts and members have a clear idea of:

Who the community is for
What members will do together
The results and transformation members can expect from contributing

That’s what a Big Purpose is. In another time, it might have been called a mission statement.

Communities need purpose.

So whether you’re bringing together dads who knit, video makers looking to swap ideas, or an alumni community, there’s a purpose behind it. Get clear on what it is, and your community has a way higher chance of being successful.

How about branding your community?

If you’re using this Facebook name generator, it will take you beyond just name ideas. Using Mighty Co-Host™, our AI will suggest a brand too.
