List of 24,000 Available Brand Names (.com) For Your Startup
- ohashi 16y agoFeedback welcome :) this list is bigger and better than the last one
- fragsworth 16y agoSome wealthy jerk will probably register all of these.
- TillE 16y agoYou picked out some good ones, but skimming through the list, I don't see many others that catch my eye. A lot that sound vaguely Turkish. Probably some good Linux distro names in there, though.
- ohashi 16y agoA lot sounded Japanese to me.
- cincinnatus 16y agoI think it will have a lot to do with the knowledge of the speaker. I saw lots of nihongo looking stuff, plenty of swahili and polynesian looking things too. Edit: Though it all starts to blur together after the first 10,000 :-)
- ohashi 16y agoDefinitely agree with you, it's contextual to each person. I'm Japanese, Japanese stuff stands out to me. Out of curiosity what do swahili and polynesian ones sound like? EDIT: why can't I reply to you joshu? That sounds interesting, would be curious to see the results.
- rhizome 16y agoI don't know if these qualify as brand names so much as 4-5 character alphabetic permutations run through a pronouncability filter.
- d0m 16y agohuroi !
- cincinnatus 16y agoWhy are there none that start with v,w,x,y,z? Plenty of perfectly pronounceable strings should exist.
- ohashi 16y agoI removed a lot of garbage. Some exist, but the relative proportion wasn't good enough. There had to be cuts otherwise it would just be 26^5 combos.
- dgreensp 16y agoWatch out world, here comes sloiw.com!
- Stuk 16y agoIf there's nothing here that is satisfactory, then it's quite easy to generate random pronounceable words, just alternate between vowels and consonants. As an example: https://github.com/Stuk/generate-words https://github.com/Stuk/generate-words
- ohashi 16y agoI started out with something similar to this, but randomly playing combinations created a lot of garbage relative of things that sounded pronounceable. A lot of letters are simply unpopular/bad (looking at you Q, J, Z, X) in most combinations (often the exception is the end).
- charliepark 16y ago"alohu" is pretty good, but someone's already snagged it.
- ohashi 16y agoI suspect the top of the list was looked at the most, perhaps strategically looking at other areas may lead to better success?
- baddox 16y agoNone starting with 'sh'?
- ohashi 16y agoOops. Apparently I missed that combo.
- pessimism 16y agoMy mind was slightly blown today, when I realized that http://productivitycalendar.com http://productivitycalendar.com and .net (and all other permutations) were available. There are still some excellent domains left, as difficult as it can seem to find some good ones. Let this be some anecdotal pep talk. Using NLTK to "mine" for viable domains also sounds like an interesting idea. Might even be a business model.
- Undergrads 16y agoI grabbed gleeh.com, might be good for resale at least. Thank you for the list!
- yahelc 16y agodehog.com! I'd buy it if I had use for it. Also, a clever use of this data set would be to run it against the Google Search API, and order them by the number of results. Theoretically, more results = better word. Or, less results means easier SEO.
- ohashi 16y agoI don't have a way to hit the API that hard, if you do, would love to see the results!
- pstack 16y agoI like utalu. I suppose you could pronounce it either OO-TALL-OO or YOO-TUH-LOOH or OO-TUH-LOO (which I prefer, because it rolls off the tongue better and sounds really playful).
- dualogy 16y agoHiSux.com ... smells like opportunity.
- traviso 16y agoFor shits and giggles I took Kevin's lists and created a fun little startup name generator that you can play around with. http://whatthefuckshouldinamemystartup.com http://whatthefuckshouldinamemystartup.com Visit the About page and donate to Kevin for all of his hard work :)
