Having Fun with Random Name Generators

You can finds lots of different free random name generators online. In general, these tools are just for fun, and it would be unlikely to find a great match for your project. And obviously, many are "sponsored" by domain registration site.

However, you can use random name generators as stepping stone for different ideas and brainstorming. Here's one I came across this week Make Words.

Of the 12 available dot com website domain names that generate on the home page, many are tricky to spell and/or pronounce. My favorite? Nostrato. (Though my linguistic instincts tell me to check that out in Italian before using it.) MakeWords also features a bulk name search feature which can save time checking a longer brainstorm list for dot com availability as well.

Another cool random domain generator is Radomainter (not that easy to say, but I get it). Type a noun, for example (or you can use a random word), into the tool and immediately get a long list of available dot com domain names that include that word.

Since I love Las Vegas and the ocean, let's try "whale" and see what we get for available dot com names...

• CityWhale
• LoveWhale
• EasyWhale
• WhaleTop

Not sure what I'd use some of these for, but I do like the visual of CityWhale...Anyway, next time you need some quick ideas check out a random name generator.
