1. AlliedDomains/names
2. NameHood
3. SavvyDomains
4. NameTable
5. NamesFolio
6. DomainInnovation
7. NamesTag
8. MyNames (.net)
9. DNnerd.com

Thanks for the list. At this point I will go to plan B which is to invest in a quality domain related name or brandable etc... Once I can afford to do so.

Name Table is easily the best in my opinion.

+1

Good that youve made up your mind. Good luck with your startup!

IMHO. You should still be looking for a brandable made-up/dictionary word or LV/VL combo, 5-7 chars.

@rivey001 , keep us updated with the name you decide to go for. I personally like NameTable.

Sure, will do.

Out of your list, I like SavvyDomains best, the one drawback being that people may misspell "savvy".

I would also recommend going with "brands" rather than "domains." Sounds classier and is what people are really looking for anyway. Nametable could be anything if heard out of context - sounds like a list of possible baby names, or even a furniture site. It's passable, but the "table" part doesn't bring anything to the table.

I really feel drawn to the word: "savvy" It fits what I'm doing: ( brand names that are creative, smart, and innovative) I like "brands" myself. I'm leaning towards a 4-7 letter brandable that may have no domain keywords in it or a solid brand or domain related name that leave no doubts.

I love to hear "That was a hand reg?!?"
SO, I kinda feel like if I'm a pro, I should be able to find my own name.
Not buy one from someone else, and prove they're better than me.
Do I have a pride issue or does it make some sense?

 

[Name Trader]

@Chris Wright - You have a pride issue.

 

[DU]

Do I have a pride issue or does it make some sense?

Both in a way.
In order to be confident in understanding the value of names you need to know you can find valuable names. The only way you can know if you can do this is to be told they are good names or to sell them.
But ask yourself - if you buy an awesome name for $200 is that worse than a getting a good name for regfee?

Finding a great regfee name is fun and a challenge though. It's worth it just for that.

 

[GBA]

Especially if they're trying to sell food to vegetarians.

What is the value of a handreg - the regfee or the price sold to the enduser? You see, vegetarians happen to eat fish, too.

Not attempting to change your mind, rivey001, like I said its good to make a decision and stick to it. Id like to hear your choice, when you make it, too.

I am selling my DNFactory website and its domains cheap if you are interested. Its ready to go and the DN Factory logo would make an eyecatching and memorable brand.

Hi Rivey,

I think most people would probably choose to have the domain keyword instead of names for a marketplace. Random thoughts:

1. AlliedDomains/names - allieddomains.com, the double Ds are not ideal
2. NameHood - Hood might have a little bit of a negative connotation for some people
3. SavvyDomains - Savvy may be too hard to spell
4. NameTable
5. NamesFolio
6. DomainInnovation - a little too long
7. NamesTag - Shortest of the bunch, I can imagine incorporating tags as in for sale into the design of the site, but also saw Name Stag as in the animal.
8. MyNames (.net) - You're selling all .coms, it would be a little odd to have your marketplace be on a .net

I'm not crazy about any of these in particular. How about using one of your brandable domains as the domain for your marketplace?

Great points!

Savvy is a real word...startups and business owners should be able to spell it. It's not a made up word. I've seen alot of longer domain names than domain innovation that are successful.. 16 letters is actually my max. NamesTag is interesting the way you put it.

 

[LaunchUp.com]

I like SavvyDomains by leaps and bounds over the others.

It's a great name in my opinion too. Someone mentioned spelling... but it's a real word...spelled correctly. If a startup or business owner can't spell savvy then IDK...
