Are you married to the "bookhu" domain name? I think you might have troubles with the phonetic aspect of it. How does someone pronounce that? book-hoo? boo-koo

Are you married to the "bookhu" domain name? I think you might have troubles with the phonetic aspect of it. How does someone pronounce that? book-hoo? boo-koo?
If you're totally set on that one, you might want to grab any phonetically similar ones like bookwho, bookhoo, etc.
I'm not sure how important the phonetic aspect is, but if it's too difficult to guess the domain from the sound of the name, you'll lose any possible traffic from "Hey, you should check out bookhu, I think you'd like it..."
- pmjoyce 17y agothis is a perennial issue for me - I'm never sure how much weight to allocate to domain names, or how many bases to cover.
- MicahWedemeyer 17y agoI'm no expert either. All I try to do is avoid names that are ambiguous or tough to spell. Think "del.icio.us" - Are you going to have to explain to someone every single time what your domain is, or will a casual mention be enough? Side note: this is why I think non-.com domains are almost worthless. On my startup, DoLeaf, we got "doleaf.com" and "dewleaf.com". Probably a good thing, too, as there seems to be a decent size minority that reads "doleaf" as "doh-leef", like Homer Simpson.
