pamg is not memorable. I think a more brandable domain name would help immensely.

Airbnb isn't particularly memorable either; we just think it is because of all the work they've put into the brand. Meaning is usually invested into names, not extracted from them.

Best example: "ebay".

Move on from the name.

thanks buddy! I share the same view when it comes to brand the name, anyway, good advice as well. how about the business itself?

I disagree about airbnb. The name at least hints at what it is, as 'BNB' is a fairly common term for 'Bed and Breakfast' which is of course, a place to stay. I had no idea that PAMG stood for Park At My Garage until I clicked through.

Thanks Jeremy, we are thinking about it! We will definitely have to change it at some point. What about the idea?
