It's short, but I don't think it's easy to remember...
I hear that it might have some value for the chinese market because it doesn't have the letters a, e, i, o, u and v., but it's a LLLLL.com and these are not yet so valuable.
So, considering the latest sales at Namebio, I would say low to mid $xxx.

I agree with the above poster.

It is hard to remember. I could be catchy but would take a lot of marketing dollars for it to stick in the consumer's mind.

wonder what others think?

- difficult to pronounce - unless you say letter by letter
- difficult to remember
- not sure it sounds resemblance to anything (srsly and zsrly - not really)

Exactly my thoughts on what it could be used for. It is good in this respect. The difficulty is convincing someone else they want to pay much for it instead of picking another term because there are so many viable alternatives out there.

In reality, it is an uncommon variation of "srsly" which is a common chat variation of "seriously". In fact, while I have seen "srsly" used many times, I have never seen anyone use "zrsly" IIRC. Of course, that is personal experience and I wouldn't doubt that someone has used it. But it definitely isn't common and the more variations you do to a word, the less value it has as a brandable. I like how Margot from BrandBucket put it - basically if you can explain the word changes in one short sentence (not a run on sentence). So basically like "Dogs.com with a Z" or something.

5 L only helps when the domain is easy to remember. The point of a short domain is to help this. I find this incredibly difficult to remember and not good for a brand.

The only value I see in this is one of those "dime for a dozen" viral sites with pretty bad names and less need for strong branding. But why should they buy this over something that can hand reg or get super cheap? Honestly, I don't see much if any reason.

I'd see this going for $0/regfee to a reseller and low-mid $xx to an enduser. If you can convince a buyer they can't live without a domain, it's always possible to go for more, but I just don't see it.

Hope this helps!

This is very subjective, the domain is incredibly easy to remember.
My guess is it is probably your age as older people do not use terms such as this.
Young people do, a LOT.
In addition this site would be targeted naturally at young people, I mean the demographics of viral sites indicate a very young audience.

In terms of pronunciation it is the exact same as the word seriously except with a Z, I fail to see how that is hard unless you are vocally challenged. Also the day has yet to come that we have to talk to a computer unless you are handicapped (again not our target audience) or rely on spoken word of mouth as the primary way of spreading your name.

Please stick to factual instead of subjective arguments if possible.

Carry on.

Unfortunately, brandable domains are NOT factual, but subjective. Secondly, you are demonstrating a lack of knowledge on how languages work. I am a software engineer with focuses in linguistics and machine learning - and have taken a lot of linguistics related courses. What you are saying is completely not true - the domain is NOT incredibly easy to remember (your statement btw was subjective as well). No, my credentials don't guarantee I'm right, but I do know something about what I am talking about. Also, I am actually on the young side of the crowd - don't make judgments about people when you have no clue. And you seriously (no pun intended) think that "zrsly" is "is the exact same as the word seriously except with a Z"? That would be "zeriously"....

Study up on brandables before you start attacking people who offer their time and experience in appraising your brandable domain...sorry, but you are like many who buy worthless domains and come here to get yourself vindicated for wasting your money.

I was referring to srsly versus zrsly and if something is used a lot would that not make it memorable by default?
Arguing that you have studied linguistics is not an argument against or for memorability, you are simply saying because I studied xyz you have to believe me on my word. That is not how things work you have to come with logic not arguments of supposed authority which cannot be verified anyway regardless if it was true which is totally beside the point.

If you think me stating facts and not believing you on your word cause you supposedly studied xyz is an attack please refrain from using online forums as people generally are skeptic and need valid aguements which are based on facts and logic rather than someone barging in and saying: "Because I studied xyz, you are wrong!", see your own fallacy in your folly please.
