Tips for coming up with a new web startup name
paulsingh: This may not be the smartest way to do it but here's what I did: I gave myself 30 minutes to brainstorm a bunch of names that I liked. (I did this with a pen & paper to avoid getting bogged down in needless WHOIS lookups, etc.)Then I opened up Google Translate and converted the words to Italian, Spanish, etc to see if any interesting variations popped up. And, finally, with this new list in hand, I started determining which ones were available.Overall, I spent no more than an hour on the whole process and came away with a new domain name in hand.IMHO, spend your time worrying about whether your startup actually solves a real problem for your potential users. If you can actually do that, the name won't matter... that much.
