Hey,

I was looking for a second fun domain, and I know this is a hard subject, since nobody really likes giving away rare finds of unused, cheap, and yet cool domain names, so not asking for suggestions. I actually found a whole bunch of those against my own expectations last week, tbh, but I’m still looking for a ‘perfect one’. So, my question is: how do you go about looking for fun domain names? Is there anything that can help with getting something nice? And what are your expectations in getting one? (Short? Funny? Pronounceable?)

I did already try asking a LLM (ChatGPT) or three, but I actually came up with way better ones than those could generate, so they aren’t adding to the solution. I also tried those websites that ask you to enter a few words to put one together, but they were even worse, cause they just spit out .com addresses, while I like to integrate the TLD into the name (like for [already taken] example: “do.pe”). 😅

Or do I really have to depend on my own imagination alone? Cause the thing is that my imagination is known to usually spit out the best ideas when it’s just too late. 😅

Anyway, TL;DR: Any input that improves the finding of a good unique domain name would be welcome. 😜

    Who says you can only get one? Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good; just get one of the fun ones you already came up with and in the future if you need a different one get that too. That’s been my approach, anyway.

      Not a bad idea, I would do this, but the problem is that I want to use it for email and a Synapse Matrix server, which both are rather attached to their domain names. 😅 Changing to a new domain would mean starting over… 🤔
