Is there is program that can scan a huge list of expired domains and extract only the dictionary-word domains?

It would be fairly easy to write one, as long as you already have the "dictionary" file to compare against...

[Edited out] is FREE and has a dictionary function for all dropping domains.

an easy way to do it if you already have a list of domains (as the post says), is to open it in word.
all the dictionary words are not underscored in red, all others are.
You can also write a macro to get rid of the non dictionary words in ms word as well.

How do most people define a "dictionary word domain name"? Does this mean ANY terms that occupy a single entry in the common dictionary?

I've recently worked out the code for breaking single words into their component parts (regardless of how many parts it can be broken into). This translates to an easy way to quickly scan a list and return domain names that are ONLY comprised of a user-configurable number of "real words" (and even being able to specify the maximum lengths of each of the parts). Kind of like if you typed "twowords" into Google, and it responds "Did you mean: two words" (with spaces between them). You'd be able to scan for two word domain names that are comprised of dictionary words (eg. twowords.com would come up*positive* as being a dictionary domain of two words, alternately allowing you to specify a 3 or 4 word max, with each word being no less than 3 characters long, or even more than that if needed.)

Does that sound like a useful script/utility?

Also, sites like SnapCheck seem to list odd words as "dictionary". For instance, look here:
http://www.snapcheck.com/browse/pending-delete/dictionary/english/com
For example: "futural.com". The best I can determine is that its an abbreviation and a Proper name combined. Eh.
Also example: "gabgab.com" Gab I know... are repeating dictionary terms a "match" as well?

Yes it does! I would also be interested in getting hold of a copy of the "dictionary file" that you use to process against. I don't know if this is freely available, or if it's something you bought or compiled, but obviously it would be impossible to create any such script without a file/database to search on.

Thanks, Mr. Domains. Here are a couple of sources:

KEVIN'S WORD LIST: http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/
MOBY - http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/research/ilash/Moby/

The dictionary files are interesting. Definitely important to clarify the type of names you wish to match against. Numerous classifications and groupings one could make. Numerous levels of "validity" to finding a "dictionary" name that is suitable/desireable.

Wrapped it up this morning, and I'll be integrating it into a website tonight, so anyone can use it on a bulk list of names (prob. up to 100 at a time). I'm currently adding optional support for contractions and a menu for choosing whether you want no more than one to three names. As it is the script only determines whether one to three words exist in the name, as I haven't programmed it to recursively determine more than that (although this might be fun in the future just for kicks). It will currently take a listing of names, and produce a list of names that are comprised of valid dictionary terms or names.

As an example, I just put the following names through it:
whoareyou.com
peaceonearth.com
onetwoone.com
georgewbush.com
thatsincredible.org
johnsmith
onetwoone.co.uk

unhappywssw.ws
apple.com
aroundtheworld.com
Imthinking.com
eleanorroosevelt.com
macdaddy
smoking.nu
verybigbox.net
smokeandmirrors.ws
dfsdafd.ws
damagecontrol.ws
princeofpersia

It produced the following results:
Code:
Array
(
    [whoareyou.com] => who are you
    [peaceonearth.com] => peace on earth
    [onetwoone.com] => one two one
    [georgewbush.com] => george w bush
    [thatsincredible.org] => that s incredible
    [johnsmith] => john smith
    [onetwoone.co.uk] => one two one
    [unhappywssw.ws] => NOTHING
    [apple.com] => apple
    [aroundtheworld.com] => around the world
    [Imthinking.com] => i m thinking
    [eleanorroosevelt.com] => eleanor roosevelt
    [macdaddy] => mac daddy
    [smoking.nu] => smoking
    [verybigbox.net] => very big box
    [smokeandmirrors.ws] => NOTHING
    [dfsdafd.ws] => NOTHING
    [damagecontrol.ws] => damage control
    [princeofpersia] => prince of persia
)
Again, I'm considering issues surrounding contractions and/or single letter characters being valid results. Let me know how this reads to you guys. When its done, I'll post in the promotions area.

UPDATE: I have posted to the promotional area regarding this tool.

I think a good option would be to ignore the "nothing" domains since listing them produces a list as long as the original. I like the idea of generating a shorter list with just the word-based domains so that there is less to read through. Look good, though!
