| Can't imagine too many hyphenated names getting type-ins except for ones like t-shirt, x-ray, etc. I'm sure there are people that will type in almost anything but I'll bet they are few and far between.
Hyphenated names will always suffer from awkward word of mouth promotion and wouldn't be my first choice. BUT, search engines don't penalize a single hyphen in a name and if the non-hyphenated version is gone and if it is for development then, why not?
They are still generally disliked by domain name resellers but end users are often looking for a cheaper next best option and a hyphenated name may be it. |
