domain Please appraise Skrillx.com and Jiggor.com

[Benjamin Booth]

I thought these domains would be very good brandable domain names. Skrillx.com sounds like the DJ Skrillex, but i just think it sounds great.
I think Jiggor also has a nice ring to it, and is easy to pronounce.
What do you think?
Thank you in advance.

Skrillx.com can be seen as a TM on so many levels

I like Jiggor

were they hand regged?

Yes i registrered them just today!
could i run into any trouble with skrillx or what do you mean?
Thank you for your time

No, no trouble. Except if you use it for dubstep music (Skrillex) , or as an online payment service (Skrill) , then you would be fine imo.

I wanted to say that , the more a domain name looks like another well established brand , the less it's value is going to be (most of the cases at least). Check if you are getting any typo traffic off of Skrillx.com . other than that , I donnot see any other premium value for the domain. But that's just me.

Yes you are right, i have parked it on Bodis, so we will see if there is any traffic

I'm going to mirror what ch_dom said as the first thing I saw with Skrillx was that you might have trademark issues. It seems like it goes out of the way to be like Skrillex .. otherwise the "X" on the end just seems a little bulky. "Skrill" would have been good (until I saw ch_dom mention it's already used). I'd probably drop this domain.

On the other side .. Jiggor is MUCH better. Cool name .. unfortunately despite it's short punchy nature, it doesn't easily pass the radio test when you say it. I'd probably go home and type in Jigger if I ever heard it on the radio. It still is a good name though, and if literal word of mouth isn't something too important to the end user it's a decent brand name.

Good luck with them!
