Best Name For A Community Portal?

George Sepich · 06-15-2009, 07:43 PM

Looking for some good names for a community portal I'm working on.

There's unlimited combos out there I know, but would like to hear from warriors on what has worked well for you or in your community. You don't even have to share the whole url if you don't want to, just looking for the adjectives and descriptive words that help make your domain url an enticing one.

Thanks,
George

P.S.
Yeah I already know the town name should be in there somewhere lol.

You know what? Terms like Amazon, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Ebay and most Web 2.0 names don't mean jack. So pick whatever you want. They become household words because people market the hell out of them.

Give yourself 10 minutes and pick a name and move on.

if the town is too small, use the county, examples:

hendrickscountycoupons.com
hendrickscountybusinesses.com
hendrickscountyrestaurants.com

etc....

I'm hoping to get some examples of actual successful portals with catchy names.

Can't say we have a catchy name, but we do have a very simple url (pagosa.com)
