domain Looking for branding opinions for new business - A G B A. com

[Recons.Com]

I would really appreciate if fellow NPers would help with the choice of brand for my future business.

The idea is to reveal the business area a bit later, so that opinions are expressed on the options by themselves. What kind of associations come to mind when you see the name, when you say it out loud, what business would you assume just by looking at/hearing the name.

Please write your response without reading responses by others, if possible.

Then I will share the business area I am looking for to see how that gauges against the expressed perceptions. I have .com of all the names below that I am seeking feedback on:

A G B A

A N E M

A X O T

E E X O

E F Z Y

E L I X

E U V O

U L D Y


Thanks!!!

I peaked at this thread an hour ago. The domain that was easiest remembered (for me) was E L I X

Reminds me of Felix / Helix. My favorite of the list. Having the domain start with / syllable break with 'e' makes me think it's an electronic establishment / service.

I also remembered, A G B A. Maybe because it was the first one I read. My brain correlated it with the first name Agatha.

E F Z Y - I love it. Very similar to Efty though. Still, only having to remember 2 main letters F and Z is a nice touch.

A N E M - Great for religious venture. Very similar to amen.

Thank you so much, @Grilled ! Exactly the type of feedback I am looking for. Really appreciate you taking the time.

Will reveal the type of business later, not to affect the feedback and perception, as very often Brand is seen without knowing services/product and people making their own first impression/judgement.

As @Grilled mentioned, I think that ELIX is the domain I would go with . The second best would be EFZY, but as posted above, it would be similar to Efty (hard to compete with in our business at the moment).
In my country (Romania) Anem or Axot can be good brandables, but i am not sure that they would really pass the radio test in any English speaking country. Anem sounds la Enom
IMO. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does ) Agree that Efzy is similar in quality/sounding to Efty or Etsy. But don't please assume it is in the same segment )

Could you also elaborate why Axot wouldn't pass radio test?

Thank you ))

PS forgot E U V O in the list and added it too, as that is one of the candidates as well.

 

[Radu054]

I am talking only for my point of view: In Romanian, probably in other european countries, Axot (heard as in English) would be spelled Exot. Also Anem in English sounds similar to Enom in Romainian.

As for Efzy, it is a nice brandable, but as you said, it depends on the segment: talking about domains, efty is all a domainer can think of. Even so, etsy, appeals to a broader community. . I think it's hard to compete with those two.

Anyway, if you choose efzy, I wish you all the best!

 

[bmugford]

I like Elix. It is easily the most brandable & memorable in my view.

[imadoer]

Elix.com hands down

 

[tldboss]

I like A X O T - technology, transport, travel

 

[aimsta]

Having worked with different short brand names and being in that sorta field, i really like talking about this so i will try to give you my opinion.

The 4L.com domain names are the best for doing business with because the name can really be unique and easy to read but most of all it catches your eyes straight away, but the only problem is that the best have already been used and what is left is your job to work on it to make it sound and look like a million dollar name.

From your list i would have to agree with the majority, Elix can be brand-able however make sure it would work well with the type of business this will represent, because it could look way off if for instance you used it for a burger joint. The second i would choose is Agba.com, which is easier to read and pronounce and doesn't need a second look to say it right.

The big problem with these names are the way people say them, I might be pronouncing Elix in a different way to you and to me it might sound different depending on the business.

At the end make sure that you ask family and friends how would they say the name and if most say it the way you do then you have a winner.

Good Luck.

My expression:

AGBA - something related to art (like symmetrical "A" letters, and strong "G" in it)
- it reminds me of ABBA - Swedish pop group

ANEM - computer software, animation

AXOT - most soundable for me; rough; heavy industry

EEXO - export company

EFZY - frenzy, entertainment

ELIX - electronics

EUVO - music industry

ULDY - documents, certifications (moody, unspecified, dont like it)

 

[Chris Hydrick]

Also Anem in English sounds similar to Enom in Romainian

Similar but when dealing with syllable breaks, IMO having it begin with 'e' adds great value if the category is online business/service. Thus a major difference between enom and anem. (Despite 'A' being superior when sorted alphabetically)

 

[Mister Funsky]

Hope I don't appear to be dense but not sure I understood completely but two stood out for me as name or 'words' easy to remember and they are elix and axot.

Now I am going to read the other posts and see how far off I am!

 

[hookbox]

1. AXOT
2. ELIX
3. EEXO
4. ANEM

AGBA a name for a more traditional type company. Simple but a bit boring.

ANEM Reminds of a short version of Anthem.

AXOT Tech type company comes to mind

EEXO There is something about this name I really like. Definitely tech related but with a younger vibe

EFZY I'm not a huge fan of the letter F in brandables but it is easy to remember and pronounce but does remind me of EFTY

ELIX Tech type company comes to mind. Coolest one of the bunch

EUVO It would be pronounced like it starts with a Y so you may lose some people

ULDY If you said this in a noisy bar they may end up at ALDY or OLDY. Doesn't fit with tech in my opinion but will work in other areas.

 

[atinc]

def. Elix

It`s catchy no matter what business you do with it, it is a brand.

 

[Asfas1000]

Elix - Helix and/or elixir

DNA Helix --> elixir of life
Health-oriented

Next good domain is Anem though it doesn't ring any specific bells.

 

[Vito]

ELIX - #1 by far. It wins all the way around. I can see this name being used for anything under the sun.

All of the rest are middle of the road here in the list you have given us and I kinda like them all for different reasons on each of them.

EFZY - This one is the worst by far. I dont like this one at all. Yes it is short and pronouncable and sounds similar to EFTY but it fails the radio test miserably. When you tell someone to go to your site they will end up at "FZ".com unless you explain each letter.

Very nice 4-L dot coms.
Best of luck with your project!

Vito

 

[slader23]

Elix.com is the best one imho to brand with. Has a "magical" feel to it because it's the short form of the word Elixir. After that I'd say Anem, which just feels right.

Second runner up is . . . E U V O
Winner . . . U L D Y

You want to be stand out from the crowd. Top 3 board pref as listed by me seems like a slam dunk . . . You have a bunch of domain investors discussing domains. Its great. I am certain it is helpful. You aren't trying to flip a domain to an investor. You are building a brand, if I understood correctly.

I would bet 1 month business class that one of these 4 win . . . which will be most everyone's bottom half. TOOK OUT BET BC IM SURE IT BREAKS A RULE . . .

I do not care for ANEM or AGBA. Anem reminds me of Anemic. Agba doesn't sound nice to me saying it aloud. Efzy makes me think of the f word. EUVO is good depending what the business concept is.

 

[Chris Hydrick]

EFZY - This one is the worst by far. I dont like this one at all. Yes it is short and pronouncable and sounds similar to EFTY but it fails the radio test miserably. When you tell someone to go to your site they will end up at "FZ".com unless you explain each letter

Efty can also be described as Lefty without an L. Whereas efzy is completely made up.

I feel like from a calligraphic perspective efzy could have an upper edge playing to a fun craaaazy brand.

 

[cipcip]

AXOT or ELIX = best names in the group, these are the domains you should decide on.

 

[Chris Hydrick]

@Recons.Com - You should start a poll when you release what the domain is for.
