Free available, memorable, short .com startup names

13 pointszeynalov12 comments

It's already 10 days we search a name for our new startup. Brainstorming some names and selecting from available .com names gave us some good ones. We've already selected our name. Knowing how it's hard to find a Good-Short-Memorable-.com name, we decided to give other available good .com names to HN community. All of them available now:

Knopod.com

Babylum.com

Rosenta.com

Andua.com

Luyla.com

Ripura.com

Lepra.com

Terminly.com

Risli.com

Sopki.com

Vikivu.com

If you don't have a prototype or MVP built yet, then I would suggest you to delay getting the domain name until you have a basic product ready. I wrote about it in a blog post - http://www.nilkanth.com/2011/12/22/dope-com/

Good post Ashutosh. Actually I didn't build MVP yet. But I would say, not after building a prototype or MVP but after ready prototype on paper or on your mind. Yes, it's not good dreaming all the day, losing your main concentration and naming your baby when you're in high school. But I think there is nothing bad naming your baby if your wife is already pregnant. After naming you're starting to think that you did 10% of your startup work and it starts to motivate you to go on. I am a designer founder, I founded 3 startups, I always build the product on a paper, design it, calculate the possible progress of the startup, than naming, buying the domain, branding, ui/ux design and hiring a dev to build my prototype.

Warning: lepra means leprosy in Spanish.

it's still a good memorable name

And in German.

just goes to show how hard domains are to come by these days

vikivu.com appears to have been taken about a month ago.

I would totally take Babylum for a project I'm working on now.

Edit: I misunderstood. Thanks for the list!

babylum.com - already gone, as of an hour ago or so.

Yeah. I took it.

lepra is a premium domain

Yes, taken since 2004 it seems.
