I usually suggest to use domainr.com to find some possibilities. From that, I'll try to find synonyms for my product / service and combine them in a two-word way (Face-Book, You-Tube, Linked-In, Hacker-News, Duo-Lingo, Snap-Chat, Drop-Box, ...). If nothing comes to my mind after a lot of tries, I stick with a "meaningless" name, or simply something that is not directly correlated with the product itself (Uber, Waze, Dell, F5, Amazon, Apple).
You can also try with word alterations such as Lift > Lyft, Scribble > Skribbl, Domainer > Domainr, Engine X > nginx.
Best of luck!

They changed it when regulators began to treat them like a cab company. > You can also try with word alterations such as Lift > Lyft, Scribble > Skribbl, Domainer > Domainr, Engine X > nginx. This creates the inconvenience of always having to specify the spelling when you tell someone about it for the first time. It's similar to having a number in your domain name, you always need to specify if it's spelled out or it's the digits. Naming is difficult.
- denysvitali 6y agoThanks for pointing out the thing about Uber, I honestly didn't know that! For the spelling problem, I guess that in the end it's a non-problem, but for sure at the beginning it may be painful to keep repeating to you future customers how to spell it. If you have a good logo and a good brand, I think that the spelling problem is solved automatically as soon as your brand gets more awareness (:
