You don't need to bid up the price of existing .com domain names. Even in 2020 there are plenty of perfectly good ones that nobody has claimed yet! All you need are two or three words that satisfy the following criteria: 1. The words, when spoken, should be easy to spell. 2. The words, when read, should be easy to pronounce in any English dialect. 3. The words, when concatenated, should not create any ambiguity (a la expertsexchange.com) A tool that generates these kinds of domains is available for your convenience at https://startupname.website https://startupname.website

The first one I got was: torquatawhether.com Possibly the most confusing domain name I’ve ever seen in my life, lol.

  When I was hiking in Western Australia I saw a beautiful Eucalyptus tree. But I didn't know whether it was Eucalyptus aquilina or Eucalyptus torquata. So I went to torquatawhether.com to find out. Sadly, no one had registered that domain yet.

        While I'm not comfortable with the implications of killpolice.com, I'm also surprised it's not already a thing.

Your startup name is... chlamydosaurusladybird.com pretty catchy.

  My first two tries were crylady.com and tooflash.com, both of which I can imagine people actually remembering and typing into an address bar. Not so sure about the next suggestion of completelyvery.com though :D
