The client preferred a more descriptive name (which often happens for services), so I thought I’d throw Quistro out there for someone. I think it's got some "good bones." For a dot com, it’s fairly short, and I like the unique energy and catchy playfulness of the Qu+O or "Key" (depending on how you may pronounce) intro.
Quite by happy accident, a brief online search reveals that Quistro appears to a town in Lombardy, Italy. And this brings me to a possible pitfall of coined names, that you are likely aware of, but bears repeating.
I pride myself on my language skills, but it’s best to proceed with caution when it comes to names and possible global branding. When I craft coined names with a foreign flair, I recommend that they be vetted by native language speakers for global use.
You may not be able to check every language pitfall (there are over 5,000 or so), but in this case, I’d at least review the name in a few Latin-based languages like Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese.
As always, dot com (or trademark) availability for my free name ideas is not implied or guaranteed--They're just free, fun name orphans I hope someone can use. If you do register this name please let me know. Thanks and enjoy-Beth.
