Re-igniting my imagination.

I have been working on choosing a domain name for an organisation that I am involved with and whatever we come up with it doesn't seem to fit. When you are choosing a domain name you want it to be memorable, so that when you tell some one the address they remember. Having reached a dead end I used a couple of resources to re-ignite my imagination:- Googled: "How to choose a domain name". This wasn't much help.
- Put all thoughts so far through the Internet Anagram Server. I love this machine. "Graham Doel" returns "Alarmed Hog".
- Used a thesaurus to find alternative words. This was the most useful because it gave me set of different words to think through.
- Listed everything I could think of that described the organisation and the personality behind it.

Yup, that anagram site is fun!

Ha ha ha… that anagram forced your comment into the moderation queue!

Of course the best ones aren’t real words at all. And this helps, because most of the domain names using real words are no longer available. Yahoo, flickr, meebo – just make up a word. It’s all in your marketing and branding (if you have a budget for that!).
