Choosing the best domain for my web studio

[gattoplano]

Hi,
I'm creating a website for my web studio (with portfolio, skills, etc.). Now, I know there are more web studios than websites around, but I need some advice.

Let's say my studio is named "Goofy".

Now, I have those choices for my studio:

goofystudio.it
goofystudios.it
goofymedia.it
goofyweb.it
webgoofy.it
studio4.it
goofynet.it
netgoofy.it
goofyservice.it
goofysolutions.it
goofydesign.it
goofy.it

What is the best solution IYHO?

I'd definitely use goofy.it but also have goofystudios.it point to it.

design and goofy is going to get the Walt Disney attorneys after you i would imagine. i'm almost certain that all walt disney character names are TM'd, especially when you go down the design path...

Hello,
As first best solution i could advice you is:
Do not give out the ideas you have in mind before someone grabs them all and sells them for a high $.
Anyway, there are different combinations you could do for your domain name, such as GoofyWebStudio.it GoofyDesignStudio.it GoofyWebDesign.it GoofyWebDesignStudio.it, apart the fact that 'Goofy' would not be much used for search matters of sites of your category, yet, it would help your site during the search "Goofy people" "Goofy stories" bllah bllah.

I do not know if this is against NamePros rules, but here is an article about Choosing effective domain names on the site thats in my signature (to the mods, if this is against rules of NamePros feel free to remove the linked URL).

Just notice the two other posts, and it is very possible that you could get Disney lawyers on your back, but after all... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/goofy Goof, Goof-y, Goof-i-ly is a word. (English is not my mother language, so i might always be wrong).

"goofy" was a goofy name, I'm not going to call my studio that way, it was just an example, mine has no tm issue! Excuse me if I wasn't understandable and thank you very much for your advices

Hes not actually going to use it. Hes just using it as an example so people dont reg the actual name that he wants.

yeah, i realized that AFTER i hit submit,...go figure.

anyways, if you're looking for a descriptive name it's actually relatively simple:

what's your business
branding
reach (national or international)
you have a current business name
etc.
these are just SOME of the cornerstones to think about. anything beyond that, you'd have to go into details, which understandably, you don't want to post.

maybe you can disclose a bit more, and receive a few more tips, or PM a few selected people which you think you can trust.
