Tell HN: Let me find a clever domain for you.

Since I can't help but procrastinate sometimes, I thought I would put that time to good use. I'll help you find a name/domain for your next idea. (No strings attached, I just find it fun).

I put up a form at http://www.URLologist.com

I find it fun to play with this one too - http://www.netsubstance.com/index.cgi - http://www.dotomator.com/web20.html

Hadn't seen those before. Definitely a good place for inspiration.

I find that Domainr is very good for this stuff: http://domai.nr/

All of those are fun.

Unfortunately, I am yet to see Dotomator produce a name whose .com is not taken.. Seems some squatter just run through whatever they generate and got most of them. Silly, if you ask me.

I just tried it, looking forward to seeing what you come up with since I have been stumped. FYI, I got an invalid email error even though I entered a valid email address. You may want to check on this even though it let me send you my message.

Weird, I got your email. I'll get to work on it :)

Thanks! I'm excited to see if you come up with anything.

Cute - submitted something.

My annoyance is how many things are owned by squatters. Domain tasting / kiting really caused so much collateral damage :(

Thanks. I agree about the squatters, even some random keyboard smashes have produced registered names for me.

great little service (I hope, at least!). You should maybe add a "some words I've been kicking about include" box. For example, I might really want to call my email app something with 'post' or 'fountain' in the name but just can't make the leap to available domainname. *just an example, I'm not building an email app called postfountain. Really I'm not. Would be a good name though.

To everyone I've emailed, I forgot to add: if you end up registering a name, let me know so I can put up a list on the site.

I'd recommend trying this guy out. He's produced a few good domains for me so far!

Liked the concept. Just sent you my condition doctor ;-)

If anything it's worth a shot, request sent :)

I like this. Just sent a request.

Thanks! It's taking me a while to get through all of them now, but I should get through the backlog this morning.
