Tell HN: Let me find a clever domain for you.

Since I can't help but procrastinate sometimes, I thought I would put that time to good use. I'll help you find a name/domain for your next idea. (No strings attached, I just find it fun).

I put up a form at http://www.URLologist.com





All of those are fun.

Unfortunately, I am yet to see Dotomator produce a name whose .com is not taken.. Seems some squatter just run through whatever they generate and got most of them. Silly, if you ask me.


I find that Domainr is very good for this stuff: http://domai.nr/


Hadn't seen those before. Definitely a good place for inspiration.


I just tried it, looking forward to seeing what you come up with since I have been stumped. FYI, I got an invalid email error even though I entered a valid email address. You may want to check on this even though it let me send you my message.


Weird, I got your email. I'll get to work on it :)


Thanks! I'm excited to see if you come up with anything.


great little service (I hope, at least!). You should maybe add a "some words I've been kicking about include" box. For example, I might really want to call my email app something with 'post' or 'fountain' in the name but just can't make the leap to available domainname. *just an example, I'm not building an email app called postfountain. Really I'm not. Would be a good name though.


Cute - submitted something.

My annoyance is how many things are owned by squatters. Domain tasting / kiting really caused so much collateral damage :(


Thanks. I agree about the squatters, even some random keyboard smashes have produced registered names for me.


To everyone I've emailed, I forgot to add: if you end up registering a name, let me know so I can put up a list on the site.



I'd recommend trying this guy out. He's produced a few good domains for me so far!


Liked the concept. Just sent you my condition doctor ;-)


If anything it's worth a shot, request sent :)


I like this. Just sent a request.


Thanks! It's taking me a while to get through all of them now, but I should get through the backlog this morning.
