This is neat. After browsing for several pages, I'm yet to find something that is a decent name.

In a similar space, I really like https://park.io



Surprising. I just purchased couple that I found there. My rule for a domain is that needs to be easy to pronounce, preferably it's not a real word, doesn't have many Google results for the name, doesn't contain w/v, i/y and h.

So for instance snuno doesn't mean anything, 5 letters, easy to pronounce in all language, people don't get confused when you pronounce it. The name eventually becomes associated with whatever you put in.

After I saw Mt.Gox taking off, I realized, that the name is challenge only initially. People will figure it out once they think there is value.

If you agree "naming is hard", then most names are by definition pretty bad... At best, this list is random, and at worst it's the set of terrible names people gave up on and allowed to expire


I've spent an embarrassing amount of time looking at domain names over the years. This is going to cost future me hours. Thanks for sharing!
