I didn't know where to put this question so I tossed it in here, if the mods have a better spot for it then please move it.
I was wondering how everyone else goes about finding a good solid brandable name that is keyword rich. I ask because I always struggle on this part and once again a new tool of mine is done but needs a name.
What I personally like to do is brainstorm some brandable domains and check to see if they are available using GoDaddy or some other register, from there I make sure that the name is somewhat relevant but still catchy to the tool/service.
After which I like to do some research on the keyword, I usually run it through a few keyword tools and then do some minor competition checking to verify how hard it might be to get a top ranking position for that term in under 1 months time.
Basically its gets to be a real sacrifice most of the time and I always end up taking forever to make a choice, this by far is a weak spot for me because I'm fucking picky I try to get one that is brandable, searchable, but already has people looking for it and it has to be in a low competition spot on Google so I can score #1, sometimes though I just say fuck it and choose one even if it doesn't get any searches.
So my question is how do you all choose your names, do you have a little system like mine or do you just think up something catchy, go with it even if it doesn't have any searches in Google and build your brand that way or do you spend a little bit of time doing some solid research before you decide.
Oh and one last thing I like finding domains like this that are between 6 and 12 characters long simply because any domain under 5 characters long is already taken but if its not its usually something real dumb, I find that its easier to get a 6 to 12 character domain, it also gives you slight flexibiliy on what your choosing.
