I am asking from wordsmithing perspective.
I know how to use data to chose domain names, suing various tools, intuition, looking up popularity among end users, sales data and such.
But looking at a name, how do you develop the instinct to know that this name would sell.
I look through thousands of names, thousands of combinations and while I am pretty good at picking the obviously good ones, (the ones that go for 2-3K on drop catch or wherever, later), I can't seem to figure out decent $100 names.
And running though closeouts, I simply can't figure out how a particular name would end in closeout while another one would go for 1200? I am speaking for 2 word names.
I am not a good writer, but my vocabulary is pretty decent and I am not so bad in learning lnaguages. Back in the day, my GRE/GMAT vocab was excellent. I speak 5 languages, I read a lot of book, and I am also good in phrases and idioms and even developed and later sold a Highly Curated "Phrases" related site for Mid XX,XXX about 10 years back.
But going through the drop list looking for Two word names feels totally like fish out of water for me.
So, How did you develop an eye for looking at 2 word names?
SO what is it you look for?
Thanks
