I think this point is lost on a lot of first-time founders.
Finding an abstract name that flows well and is unique is so much better than looking for random synonyms of a word you wanted (or even worse, mis-spellings of said word).

As a technical person, it always throws me for a loop to see so many people open a web browser and type either domain names or the full URL into a search bar. I think that as browsers like Chrome continue to gain popularity, the line between the "address bar" and the "search engine" will continue to blur, until there's no difference at all.
In the startup world, a name isn't everything -- you can't succeed just because you managed to snag `awesome.com`.
That said, if you think "cinerjie.com" will ever work out, you're sadly mistaken. [1]
