Help me pick a name for my app
I'm developing a simple service that converts timezones. Yes, I know this already exists, but the difference will be in the details.
I'm looking for a fun and remarkable (domain-)name for this app. Something around clocks, times, dates, timezones, different locations, etc.
I thought it would be cool to ask you guys as a kind of experiment, and hopefully something great will come along. So HN, could you help me out?
- sjs382 18y agojacktheticker, some variation of coo coo clock (cucuclock?), stophammertime, zonedrone, ticktockclock, ticktocktime, hourhand, hourglassfast, sundial, moondial, Chron Jeremy -- has a built in mascot. a hedgehog Didn't check them for availability at all, but that's a quick brainstorm...
- sambeau 18y agotickr
- selfish 18y agohow about just "cuckoo"?

- andr 18y agoMake sure you get the .net and .org before domain spammers steal it.
- davidbnewquist 18y agotime-ster! J/k. Maybe time2time?
- robertgaal 18y agoAll very good submissions! No real winner yet thought, and not all are available domain names.

- AlexTheFounder 18y agotimez, timeflip, timeside, timezoo
- slater 18y agoouttati.me (and many other *ti.me possibilities)
- pclark 18y agowhatsthetime.in would be quite neat to go to http://whatsthetime.in/London http://whatsthetime.in/London
- markessien 18y agoYou win. Can't do better than that, I'd say.
- listic 18y agoYou may want to look into possibilities of securing even shorter domain name, i.e. ideally it would be http://time.in/London http://time.in/London
- markessien 18y agoLots of possibilities there: querytime.in, gettime.in, localtime.in, thetime.in. Godaddy actually offers .in domains. If I were OP I'd just register then all, and let the ones die that friends and family don't like.
- pclark 18y agoeither go super short or go memorable. I think whatsthetime.in works because its literally what you'd ask.
- kevTheDev 18y agolocalized versions? Are there any domains like .in which mean "in" in other languages?
- catz 18y agoin is a fairly global word. If you play around in Google translate you will see that in is in in German and Dutch.

- floatingatoll 18y agotimezo.ne is available.
- blender 18y agochronvert.com is available...
- listic 18y agoYou may want to see how Yandex did it: http://time.yandex.ru http://time.yandex.ru There are links for switching between analog and digital clock on top of the page. I've found this service by pure accident. Once I've needed to know what time is it now in some other city and I thought "hasn't Yandex made a service for this already?" It turned out, they did! IMO, that's the ideal version of this service. But if you invented something better (the details you mentioned) - more power to you!
- listic 18y agoOne other service I discovered the similar way is http://mirror.yandex.ru http://mirror.yandex.ru - it turned out that they maintain a comprehensive mirror of open source software, might be useful if you live in Russia; I actually get downloads at higher speeds because Yandex has special agreement with my ISP (Peterstar).
