What would be a great name for a global network of cool domainer-friendly co-working spaces?

Last weekend, I introduced the idea of a "Domain Dojo" or a Domainer-friendly co-working space. Since then we received a number of domain submissions for possible use as brand names for this innovative concept that is currently in the planning stage as part of a larger expansion plan that centers on co-creation.

The basic premise here is that full-time domainers can live almost anywhere. The inherent nature of the industry is that in many ways it can be highly liberating in terms of work location. And yet most domainers are probably living in the same city or town they were living in before they became a domain investor.

In the meantime, there are places in the world where Digital Nomads have become highly productive. You can find entire directories but here is a typical Dojo in a beach community in Indonesia:


There are a growing number of so-called Dojos, that combine community, lodging, dining, and co-working, often strategically placed near beaches and typically with low operating costs.

There are a staggering number of beautiful places in the world with great Internet service, so why be tied down if you don't need to be. I am personally quite fond of Las Palmas in Gran Canarias, in North Africa, a popular destination for Digital Nomads. Others are fond of places like Ubud, Seychelles, Mauritius, Gozo, etc.

For those of us who regularly attend domain conferences like NamesCon, there is clearly a vibrant domain community. However, this is just once per year. So the thinking of this project is to establish a network of Dojos, where domainers can meet, cooperate, learn from each other, and co-create abundance.

As I know a growing number of people in the industry, and know their respective strengths and capabilities, I see opportunities every day to connect dots and help make things happen that might otherwise not happen. Given the right environment, we could all be doing a lot more of that, online and offline. That's the idea.

With that as context, please help select a domain that would fit the Domainer Dojo Lifestyle!

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
This must be @Rob Monster domain request with the most submissions. 😂 Lots of good names are already regged, and lots newly regged/proposed by us on here post- poll list.

Seems People changing their votes, for example,For the name NameDojos.com voting count decreased from 11 to 8.. May be people are changing their opinions after watching discussion in the thread!

I originally voted for 6 (including collab. org and DojoVille) and later reduced it to 2 votes. I dropped Collab due to it being a dot org. I thought the DN/Name/Domain suffixed ones may be limiting the scope/perception of the project to strictly names when it could easily do more.

CasaDojo ...... not sure how I would react to an advert for that but I definitely would want to want to know more about DojoVille, DojoSphere, and maybe DojoArena, if I came across the ads.

When I read the domain request for this project, I had just tried a battle royale game, battlelands royale. First thought which came in mind was DojoRoyale.com, I suggested it to Rob thinking it might be a good fit as it sounds similar to CasinoRoyale or BattleRoyale but as I am still a newbie to this game, I lack understanding of whats good as only vote the name got was of mine own :banghead:

DDojos.com

Simple, short, easy to remember and relevant to your idea.

I like: Collab.org

This project is different than some of the other empowerment projects that Rob has introduced here which he might have been okay with using a .org for, I believe that Dojo eventually is going to evolve to go beyond being a charity or nonprofit organization even if it starts as such and so I believe that .com will be a better choice for extension in this case, although perhaps @Rob Monster can clarify which route he wants to take for the Dojo project in the long run as far as whether he likes .org better or .com

IMO

Since when does .org have to be non-profit?

Apparently, according to Wikipedia, .ORG was originally intended for non-profit entities, but this restriction was not enforced, and has been removed...

... Just curious, does anyone have an official date, or can refer me to official documentation, that would support an official removal of this restriction?

[P.S.] Any Wikipedia updater's on here want to update the article to include the new acquisition or more recent number of .org registrations post June 2013? Have at it!

Although .org can be used for any purpose now, but most people still associate it with non commercial organizations, as I said perhaps @Rob Monster can clarify the route he wants to take with the Dojo project, but if it was up to me I would rather go with a .com domain in this case.

Collab .org can make a great domain for some organization, but I don't think that Dojo is the right use for it, although others might think differently.

IMO

LocusLiving.com

Locus is the central area of common interest and living makes it a lifestyle .

Infact both words flow together nicely and Living at the end makes it perfect lifestyle domain .Both words starts with same letter L makes it easily pronounceable .

And the very last thing you may shortly pronounce it as LOL .

For sure.. It's potentially not the right fit. I think Dojo is related to co-working and collaboration which is probably why it's on the list.

I've personally never heard of the word "Dojo" until seeing this, but in today's world you don't typically call your virtual reality company VirtualRealityVille or VRVille... People use names like Jaguar, Strata, Revolve, Leap, etc.

Of course, it's a matter of opinion but I like to base my opinions on current branding and marketing trends.

To me, the .org brings a strong community based feel, whereas the .com, brings more of a capitalistic approach; each has its own market and target customer base. I think the .org, if the goal is to be more globally inclusive, rather than financially exclusive, is the better fit.

Similar to craigslist.org, although a private company, and coupled with the fact of redirecting the exact .com to their .org, Craigslist brands on a .org.

Craigslist.org was registered [9/11/97] 13 days before Craigslist.com [9/24/97]

----------------------------

Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia. Even their sources might be wrong? Or am I missing something.

An exert from the sourced Gizmodo article:

Ever growing in popularity, community members demanded a web interface and thus the now super popular website, Craigslist.org went live. It was 1996.

However, WHOIS shows a 1997 creation date.

So is Wikipedia / Gizmodo wrong? ... or maybe Craigslist.org was regged in 1996, then maybe dropped, and re-regged thus explaining the '97 creation date.

Good thing about Locus is that it solves same purpose as Dojo and gives better sound and understanding than Dojo( which many people would assume more of martial arts)

I guess we have to wait for Rob to chime in to indicate which direction he wants to take the Dojo project, depending on his plans there might still be a lot of hope for Collab .org after all.

I think you misunderstood what I meant. For me I had an immediate dislike for the domain because I saw it as Locust Living an insect that caused a plague.

So even though Locus is good by itself, the first impression I had was bad because I thought of Locust Living and that wasn't good.

I am not sure how you see locust and not locus .
Going by your logic Locus is completely useless keyword which is not the case .
Locus is very popular Latin name .
