Ask HN: help me think of a domain name
10 comments
Check out nameboy.com and sedo.com. Enter keywords and see what's available. I find that helps with generating ideas.
And a lot of times someone might just want ~$100 for a domain which should be easily justified if it's the right name.
On nameboy.com you can quickly see domains that just have a .com taken, those are probably easier to get under your control.
Recently I got a domain name I wanted by emailing the owner and making a proposition because I noticed that it was just some default GoDaddy page. Turns out he was indeed just a random web developer squatting on the name and was happy to get a few bucks, not some nefarious domain squatter.

You also may want to check out http://brandstack.com I haven't used it (I have a friend who has), but apparently you can buy pre-made logos and domains. Might find something you like.
Recommend you don't mention available domain names here to prevent sniping, private message Raj if you've got a good one.
I might have a proposition, email's in my profile.
I've got: c l e a n z a p .
rumblesale.com
rumblesale.com
rocktion.com
not-ebay.com?
current contenders: snapfive.com - entirely generic but easy to pronounce and spell rumblesale.com - rhymes with jumble sale bidnsee.com - make a bid and see if it's accepted
do you guys have any other ideas?
