Antenna or aerial?

[Abdul Aziz R]

if I want to make a domain name with 2 words, which one is better to use
xxxxaerial.com or xxxxantenna.com ?

as I am not a native-English speaker,would you help what you think and why?

Both are difficult as brandable words. Aerial is often confused with the words "arial" and "areal". Antenna is probably better.

For United States, I only hear antenna in common verbal usage.

Unless it's something where aerial is specific to a certain product or something, I would go for antenna.

I like your point. are there other synonyms for it? even something in the meaning of "feeler".

I got it thank you.

An older friend from the UK the other day asked my if I knew of anyone who could help him fix his "aerial", after a moment of silence he could see the look on my face. In the US we don't use the word aerial and so I was thinking aerial for him was probably antenna and then at the same time I was thinking who actually uses an antenna anymore.

Seeing the confused look on my face he said that he meant his satellite dish.

At least for me, I think both words are kind of outdated at this point. I would not go with either.

My spidey antennas tell me that perhaps "mobile" or "radio" could be better substitutes.

Grampa: What's an antenna? or aerial?


"Well son in the old days we needed a big tin foil thingy to get snowy black and white tv, long before youtube"

OMG, is it that old!

I was searching for synonyms, something works like feeler. I found these 2 words. But I think sensor will fit better than them.


By the way, what do think about "thatold" dot com when I wrote it, I found it cool.

It wouldn't be so old if it was an Invisibility Antenna.. just saying

Use a keyword tool and check the number of searches for each and related keywords. Also, check the CPCs for the keywords.

The keyword which along with its related keywords, has more search volume and higher CPC is the better keyword .

Hope this helps!

Amateur radio operators would be one group.
