  • catchy but kind of sounds offensive. Like a cross between a blimp and a pimple.

    • Sounds and looks too much like Blimpie.
      The submarine sandwich place.
  • It sounds to much like pimple. I don't know if it will have the same effect.

      Blimple?

      Seriously is this the best that you can come up with?

      Honest opinion? It's bloody awful!

  • The word pimple immediately comes to mind.
  • To me it's more like a combination of a blister and a pimple.
    Perhaps the word "bubo" is available... shorter and simpler.
  • One of the founders of the Blimpie sandwich chain is a buddy of mine. I doubt if he'll agree to your use. On the other hand your use of the word is hard to confuse with a sandwich. If he does agree that your use is ok I'll let you know. I won't see him until the end of July.

    • I think it's possible to become catchy, but it does have some serious baggage because it sounds more like pimple than blimp. Well, add to that it's not really a word...so hey, neither was microsoft, right? My advice? Run with it and make your millions.

    • First of all I think your a bit confused domainarama. First of all neither Blimple or Blimpie are patented according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. So legally and contractually anyone can get a patent for those names and use it 100% legally. Wether your friend owns the business or not really has no say in it if he/she did not file a patent.

    • Blimpie has several dozen TRADEMARKS - so not quite true.

      Blimple is not trademarked - but it sounds icky. My first impression is the word sounds like something fat and soft.

      Sorry - but you did ask. Edit: I'd want a word with a hard consonant. Yahoo is the only major "brand" that is a "soft" word but it's a known word.
    • Funny the first thing I got was hepse.com lol that is even more discusting lol

  • Unless you've got a stellar budget to spend on branding (or lots of time to play with), I'd try to get the word "host" somewhere in the name.

    • I agree luckily I have both and I definably want to brand a word that means nothing form the ground up.

      Thanks for the optimism, after google is goo and gurgle combined. Doesn't get much grosser then that. lol And I was thinking, doesn't human nature remember disasters 100 times over nice things. Just a thought, maybe the disaster of the word will help it.

      Sounds cool, I'm checking it out now.
