Help me choose a name for my upcoming platform

[twiki]

Before you vote for a name, please read:

I'm building a new website for multiple purposes. It will showcase my names and also provide discount / EOL domainer sales among other things. So it will be a domain platform on one hand.

It will also feature a lot of domaining articles. Also I will open to the world some of the tools I have currently have as private, offered via membership. So there will be a lot of things in.

My problem is that whichever name I pick doesn't seem a perfect fit. It fits one part of the thing, but not the other. The domain sales part would fit a name like Brandeia (as most of my names are now brandables), but on the other hand it might be confusing if you don't see "domain" contained in the name? Just wondering. Short is good, but descriptive is also good, so... I made this poll.

On the other hand I don't want to split this into countless websites as no way I will be able to manage all those.

This being said, got a shortlist below, what would you choose? Also please comment if needed / better suggestions. Thanks!

Note: One always needs an exterior pair of eyes as it's harder to see correctly from within

Edit: Been unsure about the right category for this post, so if mods find another place to fit better, please move thread there, thanks

It's a particular mix that is difficult to fit to most names. And as far as I can tell right now, I hardly see a 2-word as an option anymore, unless extremely short.

Do you mean you changed your mind drastically in last few hours?

Because of the 9 options in your poll (excluding "other"), 7 are 2-word and 1 is Acronym+Word.

You are probably going to need a pretty strong budget to get a good, one word(ish) brand in .COM.

My rule of thumb for a good brand is normally try to stick to one change with the creativity. Meaning, it is either word+word or word+suffix or change of a letter in a name etc. But not a combo of those, unless some rare exception.

Lyft is fantastic, liftify is very good, but lyftify? not so much.

In your case, you are adding 2 suffixes ly+ify. My recommendation is don't rush the name. It will come. Just keep looking. In the meanwhile, work on the script/project/website. Also, maybe don't limit yourself to handregs? Check the auctions and allocate budget of mid xxx for a right brand for yourself.

Yeah, it basically needs to be one level off.

When you have a whimsical brand + something else, I am not a big fan personally.

One I own is Kosmic.com, obviously a play on Cosmic. That as a standalone is solid, but adding some random extra term with it drops the quality a lot.

My vote is for Slickdot, good brandable has dot in it like Dynadot has, i feel it will resonate well with end users, the reason why so many domainers are against your domains, because they are not end users.
