    How to generate ideas for a domain name?

    I always wonder how can one generates such a creative domain name like flickr, eBay, google and dnforum .

    The one I am using now is Domain Suggestion Tool (DST) and you can read my experience with this tool in my blog .

    Is there anymore tips/tools better than DST to generate a good domain name that you can share here?

    LOL.. the names above are never generated by "tools".
    Using our brain alone is XXX times more effective than any virtual tool that you may find.

    I have to totally agree with lyndonmaxwell, the best tool is the human brain, it sees permutations and appropriate abbreviations no program can. Also it takes in new information constantly and can react to trends faster than any computer.

    Also those made-up names ebay and flickr in particular have massive branding campaigns and promotion behind them.

    If you have a short pronounceable name, extremely useful content/application, and branding, you can make it with almost any name (.com). It also helps to be the first in the game.

    Re: How to generate ideas for a domain name?

    Right, human brain is more creative than any tools in the market.

    The available tool in the market now is only useful when you are searching for "profitable", "resellable" and "SEO targetting" domain name.

    Basically, it is based on the following concepts:

    +searches for the frequent typed keywords from overture
    +add .com after these hot keywords
    +cross check with the register to see if it is still available.

    So, do you have any domain name that you like and inspires you?

    My favorite is: del.icio.us

    Re: How to generate ideas for a domain name?

    This tells you that developing a great idea easily has greater valuue than developing a great name...

    Case in point: Auction.com vs. ebay.com

    ebay was originally auction net.com and changed to the more brandable ebay.com.
