domain dunta.com

[asteroidblues]

It's a brandable five letter .com name. Any evaluations are appreciated.

 

[DOMiNIC]

It gets harder and harder to find a prnouncable, memorable, short made up, brandable domain and they are in demand.

Low $x,xxx minimum.

I agree it is hard, plus this one happens to be the first name of a millionaire. Thanks for the info, anyone else?

 

[GreenGambler]

Wooo. low X,xxx. I had no clue and was going to say mid to high xx.

Are they really that valuble? If so I have a huge list that I need to start regging.

Well who would have imagined, when the scramble for premium generic domains first began, that Google would be the most valuable domain on earth!!!

 

[GreenGambler]

I here ya there. Google was totally random. Goes to show that good marketing with a decent DN can go FAR in this industy.

 

[peaches017]

Low X,XXX is WAY over-appraised.

One of the reason's "google" is such a good name is because it can be used as a verb. You googled something, hold up, im googling.

It's awkward to say you duntad or i'm dunta'ing. A prime example is "Zillow" who specificlaly searched for a name that can be used that way.

Low-mid XX

I disagree

Peaches, you couldn't be more wrong.

The term Google isn't so valuable because it is a verb... instead, it became a verb because the brand was so valuable.

When you need to blow your nose you need a KLEENEX.
When you want to copy a piece of paper you make a XEROX.
When you want a soda you ask for a COKE.

These are companies whose brand has become so powerful, that their brand name is synonomous with the entire product line. It's the peak, the apex, the ultimate in marketing and branding.

People began saying, "I Googled it" because the brand was so powerful that anyone doing a search was likely to be using google. According to you, If I start a website called Poogle that allows me to search for pets and pet supplies my website would be much more valuable because I could tell people I Poogled it.

I'm sorry, but I hope you realize that what you are claiming is quite the opposite.

Wow, In my mind I was just taken back to Mrs. Browns business basics class freshman year HS... You are right..

It could be marketed as I used dunta. I did a dunta. Dunta that now! etc.

But Peaches is right too. Haveing a word that can be used as a verb, especially for a search engine. Does somewhat up the value if it is a made up word.

I like "I poogled it".

Anyway you are both right to a degree. IMO

 

[peaches017]

My reasoning may not be there, but the name is not worth X,XXX (not now at least) if not sold to an end user.

While you are right to a degree re: branding, comparing "coke" with "dunta" is ridiculous.

There are not many words ending in "unta" which makes it awkward, while "coke" could be used as bloke, smoke, etc. I couldn't think of any of the top of my head. In addition, it sounds awkward and un-professional... Just IMO

I stand by my earlier appraisal

 

[trigatch4]

Yeah, but

I see what you're saying but, hindsight is 20/20

Before their time I doubt anyone would have said Google or Xerox were great, brandable names. A lot of great brand names sound rather silly, except for the fact that you know them so well that they've become household.

That being said, I agree with your appraisal.... and the concept of it.... just not the details...

PS - I think it's interesting that people make up fake words and reg them in hopes that somebody else one day will also make up that fake work and want to reg the name. I mean, it can make you a helluva lot of dough.... but if you sit back and think about the concept... well.... it's kind of funny.

'Dunta' rhymes well in Spanish, 'Junta', and even better, 'Punta' - 'Point'.

 

[peaches017]

Regardless

I did about an hour of searching last night and came up with much more pronouncabe and brandable stuff, which doesn't render this one valueless, but certainly gives some stellar evidence to this name is not extraordinary

Interesting, I own duntarobinson.com but I did not know dunta was an urban slang term.

I'm going to have to agree with Peaches on this except that the only saving grace is that "dunta" manages to have 3458 OVT. My advice would be to find someone named Dunta and try and sell them the name, because IMO, I think that's the only way you'll get 4-figures for it.

Yes, 5-figure pronouncable names are sought after quite a bit. However, there are over 10 million 5-letter combinations, and even though obviously only a fraction of those are pronouncable, if you look at even just combos of consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel-consonant (with y acting as a consonant), that's over 200,000 names right there. Those names are NOT very rare. While I wouldn't say Dunta is among the lower quality 5-letter pronounceables, it still has unregistered 5-letter pronounceables to contend with as far as someone looking for one of those to brand. That's why I think going the first-name route is your best option to get the most for it, since some people are apparently named Dunta (why I don't know!).

 

[DN Tycoon]

Possible mid-high $XX as is......if you develope the name you will find the value will increase as with any name. Gooduck

 

[DOMiNIC]

I believe Dunta is a Greek name, but I may be wrong.

 

[Phronesis]

I'm with peaches on this one. Unless you're getting traffic for some reason, I can't see why someone would pay a premium for this name.
