Watch out world, here comes sloiw.com!
I like utalu. I suppose you could pronounce it either OO-TALL-OO or YOO-TUH-LOOH or OO-TUH-LOO (which I prefer, because it rolls off the tongue better and sounds really playful).
You picked out some good ones, but skimming through the list, I don't see many others that catch my eye. A lot that sound vaguely Turkish.
Probably some good Linux distro names in there, though.

A lot sounded Japanese to me.
I think it will have a lot to do with the knowledge of the speaker. I saw lots of nihongo looking stuff, plenty of swahili and polynesian looking things too.
Edit: Though it all starts to blur together after the first 10,000 :-)

Definitely agree with you, it's contextual to each person. I'm Japanese, Japanese stuff stands out to me. Out of curiosity what do swahili and polynesian ones sound like?
EDIT: why can't I reply to you joshu? That sounds interesting, would be curious to see the results.

My mind was slightly blown today, when I realized that http://productivitycalendar.com and .net (and all other permutations) were available.
There are still some excellent domains left, as difficult as it can seem to find some good ones.
Let this be some anecdotal pep talk.
Using NLTK to "mine" for viable domains also sounds like an interesting idea. Might even be a business model.

If there's nothing here that is satisfactory, then it's quite easy to generate random pronounceable words, just alternate between vowels and consonants. As an example: https://github.com/Stuk/generate-words
I started out with something similar to this, but randomly playing combinations created a lot of garbage relative of things that sounded pronounceable. A lot of letters are simply unpopular/bad (looking at you Q, J, Z, X) in most combinations (often the exception is the end).
For shits and giggles I took Kevin's lists and created a fun little startup name generator that you can play around with.

Why are there none that start with v,w,x,y,z? Plenty of perfectly pronounceable strings should exist.
I removed a lot of garbage. Some exist, but the relative proportion wasn't good enough. There had to be cuts otherwise it would just be 26^5 combos.
dehog.com! I'd buy it if I had use for it.
Also, a clever use of this data set would be to run it against the Google Search API, and order them by the number of results. Theoretically, more results = better word. Or, less results means easier SEO.

I don't have a way to hit the API that hard, if you do, would love to see the results!
I grabbed gleeh.com, might be good for resale at least. Thank you for the list!
Feedback welcome :) this list is bigger and better than the last one
"alohu" is pretty good, but someone's already snagged it.
I suspect the top of the list was looked at the most, perhaps strategically looking at other areas may lead to better success?
Some wealthy jerk will probably register all of these.
HiSux.com ... smells like opportunity.
huroi !
