The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
I will be honest i would tend to agree with them. I can not see what type of business would go for one of those names. It is always better when making up brandables that they are based on some real words.

You should always think 'who would use this name' before registering any.

That's just my opinion.

IMO I only see a handful that's ok ish... I guess they won't accept the whole portfolio here if only a few are listable.. Select your very best; send maybe 5-10 at a time.

Or just find another genre that is not a raffle at the hands of someone else

You have put business ideas next to each one but those uses for the name were not obvious., most of the names i wouldn't know how to pronounce. There are just to many better options than those you have listed.
Feedty... feedly, feedio, feedr, feedsy, feedzy etc... all easier to pronounce and more natural in my opinion.

Just my opinion.

I feel you man. I also registered names similar to their published domains.

Domains like:

DearMed. StepMed is published on BB.
UpCliq. Upclix is published.
MedKitt. Lots of double letter hacks published on BB.

But got no luck. :)

You're not the only one.

I think I liked only Fumso. I can see a company or product with that name.Try resubmitting only that name. Sometimes there can be an oversight. Rest I find are mediocre. The question you have to ask is would you start a six figure or a million dollar venture with that name? I admit that is not who the target clients are but it helps you filter from the junk.

Forget about what they could be when you register them and put pronounceability first. If they can't be easily pronounced don't register them even if you have very clear view of what type of business could use it. Pronounceability is by far the most important factor.

You got close with Feedty but unfortunately the Ty suffix makes it a reg fee name. Feedly worth up to 10 grand and maybe more, Feedsy worth up to 5 grand, Feedzy worth up to 2 grand, Feedty worth reg fee. Changing just one letter is the difference between a nice bucket of money and an empty bucket.

All rejected, what do you think?

kicksky.com
ranksky.com
waynavi.com
flasholo.com

I think kicksky can good for extreme sports, ranksky for seo or advertising company. Also waynavi (way + navigation) could be good for a tech startup about location /gps service.

I am a newbie so it will be great if you direct me.

I would not take a BB rejection or approval as an indicator of a good / bad brandable.

I have not submitted domains to BB ( or other brandable marketplaces ) but I have sold brandables; indeed my main sales are brandables.

It is best to use other criteria to evaluate a domain imo.

1/2017 sold

suwax.com

$2.300 USD minus SEDO fees

not in that list above
but rejected by Barndbucket

to me sedo has the same likelyhood of selling a brandable as barndbucket
but fees are lower much lower

I have had thousands of names rejected at BB. But along way I've learned a few things. If anyone wants some feedback on their brandables pre-submission or after they are rejected I'm happy to give my informed opinion and insights.

Cheers!

You said gamrio is for game. Gam is a leg. And the Pokémon one is also a stretch. The main thing is many of your names are not easily pronounced. If it’s awkward to say and no real word it will be rejected.

I am currently focusing on building my portfolio at BB and BP. I have lots of questions to ask.

What do you do with rejected domains? Do you recommend any particular marketplace for rejected domains? Have you sold any rejected domains? Do you renew any rejected domains?

Good questions:

What do you do with rejected domains?

There are lots of options. Submit them to other brandable marketplaces. Sell them at cost on NP. List them at GD premium/Afternic/Sedo. And/or let them expire.

Do you recommend any particular marketplace for rejected domains?

Nope. Every market place has it's pros and cons. I'd prefer the one with the most traffic if you can find that info. Put them any where you can find a home for them. If they are not listed at a marketplace
like BB/BR/BP etc then make sure you have an Efty landing page and a BIN. Or list them on GD premium and forward the domain to the GD premium page. This way any type in will have a BIN button for an impulse purchase by credit card.

Have you sold any rejected domains?

I've sold hundreds of them wholesale but only a small percentage of them to end users.

Do you renew any rejected domains?

If a domain is rejected at more than one brandable marketplace that's a pretty good indication it's likely not worth renewing. But there are always exceptions, depends on the name, how much I paid, and why it was rejected. Sometimes BB will reject good names because they are not a good fit for their marketplace. For example generic names, adults names, canna names and niche market domains.

But even the ones I do renew I give them a hard look after 2-3 years and delete some of them. I'm talking about domains I hand regged or bought in the expired auctions for under $30.

In general we domainers tend to overvalue the domains we own because we lose our objectivity. Ask a few successful domainers to look at your holdings and get a second opinion. Sometimes I send a list of brandables to a respected fellow domainer and ask "which of these domains would you renew?" Renewals are the biggest drag on profits and can even cause losses.

Keep in mind that BrandBucket allows sellers to submit domains they do not own. I believe that BrandBucket is the only marketplace that allows this.

These days I only buy domains that I am happy to sell on my own even if BB rejects them. If I'm unsure, then I submit to BB first and only purchase that domain after it's accepted. This eliminates all the 'rejected domain' issues.

Cheers!

PS and a big shout out to @nitg16 for his website and posts on NP which are a great service to domainers!
