Very cool.
MeaningofName.com was recently renewed (urg, the eternal defier of a good Snap), that would be one of the best versions of that domain I think (according to Overture's rankings, NameMeaning.com being THE best). I had NameMeaning.net, MeaningofName.net, Meaning-of-Name.com, MeaningofName.info, and NameMeaning.info registered instead (only because I'm a domain registering pyscho-path...
read nothing into this). :laugh:
www.behindthename.com is a GREAT site, and one could only HOPE to aspire to its heights (especially having been around so long). I especially like that people posting in the messageboards can instantly link names they mention into the BTN search engine and have their meanings pulled up instantly.
One potential pitfall however is that it seems a slippery slope that people can easily MAKE-UP names and MAKE-UP their meanings as well. Who's to say? Names are a much slipperier beast than "words" it seems, whose inclusion in the popular lexicon as noted by our favorite dictionaries, are a hotly debated subject.
Where does one draw the line with names? Who's meaning is cannon, and whose meaning lies on the cutting room floor? From where does one draw and calculate the most accurate compendium for this topic?
At any rate, the subject is clearly a winner, and with enough research, dedication, effort and support, your website would be too!
I believe your domain is memorable, clear, and self-explanatory. Very nice.
Appraisal: $500
Develop it, and I'm sure it can be worth much more.
