Ask HN: How did you come up with a domain name/name for your company?

2 pointsthisismyhnuser1 comment

I am really struggling to come up with a name for a new company I am working on. Most of the names I've come up with are taken by squatters asking for a crapton for the url. How did you come up with your company's name/domain name?

Damn annoying but just keep going through whois, you'll get one eventually.

<TIN-FOIL-HAT>I often wonder that if you do enter a domain name and its free then it gets sent to a list of ones to squat on. Probably just paranoia but it happened once to me several years back and suspicious ever since.</TIN-FOIL-HAT>
