Finding the perfect name is an important step every entrepreneur is facing when starting up a new business.
Having a brandable and memorable name is the foundation for a successful venture; not having it could cost you an arm and a leg in marketing costs, but no-one still remembers it.
With more than 80 million domain names already registered, you would get a serious headache brainstorming for names and looking them up in the Whois database one-by-one, only to find that all the sensible ones are already taken. But you can be sure, that good domain names are still out there. Its just not very easy to find them.
For that reason we can recommend a tool that can save you a lot of valuable time – MakeWords Domain Search and Suggestions tool .
Algorithms and language rules in MakeWords deliver hundreds of new unique name ideas instantly. It may take a couple of minutes of getting used to it, but once you do, you’ll save hours naming for your future products or brands. We even have pages where you can find a name for your pet, baby, roleplay character.

Acceli Web Solutions launches an intelligent Domain Name Generator at www.makewords.com
The new domain search system at www.makewords.com contains a variety of features that speed up your quest for unregistered domain names.
Acceli Web Solutions, a New York web development company, announced today the launch of its next generation domain name suggestion tool and search engine at www.makewords.com
Unregistered domains can now be easily found with several new methods, like the random phonetic word generator, using different language rules, synonym search, popular affixes and more.
At some point almost everyone needs to come up with a name for their startup business, personal website or blog, said Tauno Novek, Chief Operating Officer of Acceli. We faced the same question when we were looking for a name for our company. That’s when the idea about the domain name generator was conceived.
The domain search engine was developed using the new Microsoft.NET framework that takes advantage of the AJAX (shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) techniques of the web.
We’ve been running it for a while now and the results are astonishing. Within minutes the search engine returns 5 and 6 letter domain names that sound good, are brandable and memorable! Apparently there is still an infinite number of good names out there, its just a matter of finding them, said Novek.

Are you about to give up hope on finding a good available domain name?
No worries, there is still an infinite number of available domains out there, its just a matter of finding them.
Recently some major web hosting companies have launched domain name suggestion engines that can give you hundreds of inspiring name ideas instantly. A few of them stand out by being significantly faster and user-friendlier than most:
Yahoo! Domain Name Suggestions – Link
Yahoo’s Domain Suggestions has an eye-catching ultramodern Web 2.0 feel. This search interface is done with Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) – the latest in web techniques for creating interactive web applications. You’ll notice that the pages are actually never reloaded when searcing. Page elements simply shift around softly, making the user experience dynamic and easy to use.
Lets say we need a name for an interior design site. Typing “interior design†to the search box produces the following results:
Not all of them are close to ideal, but there are a few that sound good and are actually quite search engine friendly – meaning that they contain the actual words people would be searching for. Note that you have to click on “See more†to view all results.
The speed of looking up over 100 domain names is simply astonishing – new results are returned in less than one second thanks to Ajax.

GoDaddy Domains Smart Search – Link
GoDaddy’s first set of results is for .com domains only, but later you can select other extenisions like .net, .info, .biz, .us etc.
We’ll try the interior design search once again.
Click on the See other domains like this link to view all suggestions.
GoDaddy offers various options to customize your domain search – add popular affixes or suffixes, include dashes in the name or use related keywords.

MakeWords Domain Name Generator – Link
MakeWords is the one with most advanced features. Names can be created with random phonetic words, that sound like they would derive from English language. The popular affixes search is similar to Yahoo! and GoDaddy, with tens of different affix categories to choose from. The synonym search suggests similar keywords that can be combined with an extra affix of suffix.
There are links for checking the domain popularity, Google results and business name availability. Similar to Yahoo, this site also uses the Ajax interface.
At first it may all seem a bit overwhelming, but that is usually the case whan you have so many custom search options.

Naming your business is one of the most important decisions you are facing when establishing a new company.
There’s a lot of room for creativity, but in order to have a truly unique, memorable and brandable name, you need to consider certain basics:
- You need a distinctive name that characterizes what your business does
- The name must be pronounceable, brandable and relatively short
- You want a name that has an available .com domain
While the first two are a matter of brainstorming and consulting with your friends or colleagues, getting the third one right can be an impossibly difficult task to encounter. With more than 50 million .com domains registered today, you can spend hours looking them up in the Whois database one-by-one, only to find that all the sensible ones are already taken. Fortunately there are the domain name suggestion tools, like http://www.makewords.com/, that generate hundreds of name ideas instantly, and speeds up the domain name search process greatly.
Very often the names have nothing to do with the underlying business, or service, such as Kodak, Google, eBay. Remember, it’s the uniqueness of the name – you want to distinguish yourself from your competitors. Deep etymology is secondary compared to the uniqueness and brandability of the name.
Another way to decide on a domain name is to try to figure out what message you want to convey to people and combine a couple of short words together, that are easy to remember. Many small businesses prefer to use words that cleverly suggest qualities about the underlying product or service without describing them outright, such as Lending Tree for loans, Slenderella for diet food products, or The Body Shop for personal hygiene products. Such names can easily be generated with the MakeWords.com Popular Affixes or Synonym searches.
If you’ve found the perfect name for your business, you have to take the extra step to secure it by registering the domain name. Domain name registration is not something to be intimidated about. It is a straightforward process, where you just have to follow the step-by-step instructions given by your domain registration provider. All you need to know, is your contact information. No technical knowledge is required.
If you don’t know which domain name registrar to choose, take a look at our top domain registrars page. If you are unsure, go with a known registrar like Yahoo or GoDaddy.
