If I build hand made products from my garage and sell them online for example:

1- make up a new word based on a word that best describes your business (e.g. Maker = makr)

2- if taken, look for synonyms of that word and repeat step one (e.g. Craftsman = krafsman)

3- if taken, repeat 1 and 2 with a combination of 2 words (e.g. HomeMade = Homade, etc.)

I usually do the same as well. It's just that it can take anywhere between 1 hour to a couple of days of fooling around. After a while, its gets all confusing, which one was better, you ask around, but everyone has different views. If you are in a group deciding to come up to the name, it becomes even more tiresome. I was just wondering for an easy to browse service of domain names, submitted by community where one can buy and share goes to the person who submitted and small part to the platform. Not sure, if people would like it though, it really needs a big community to support who believe domains need to be used for making websites and not hoarding for a future sale!
