discuss What are your "catchiest" domains?

[ThatNameGuy]

I've been spending a little time reviewing the brand Catchy.com who advertises here on NamePros. They're headquartered in France and seem to have a good presentation. They say in their add; "catchy domains for lease"

First off, what's a "catchy domain"? Hell if I know, but I know one when I see one. "Catchy" domains require a sense of humor, something that seems to be lacking in the world today

I believe I have a few "catchy" domains, two of which I reg'd in the last 48 hours, and neither of which have been registered before.

The first one I registered is; LakeCatchy(.)com. If you don't see the humor here I'm really sorry, but "Lake Catchy" has got to be the best name of any fishing hole in the world.

Moving on, while meeting with some friends earlier, I thought of a flea market as I rounded a corner headed for home. So what should POP into my pea brain, but CornerFlea.com. I don't know if you have flea markets where you are, but could you imagine a national chain of "Corner Flea" markets selling things from all over the world? Can anyone even begin to imagine how that might be accomplished? They could even sell fresh fish from Lake Catchy that are shipped overnight to a corner near you

Do you have any "Catchy" domains? Share them with us and the story behind them. Thanks

I get it and I like it, but with a little color "HOT.cool

I think some of the catchy domain names submitted in this thread are more catchy than others! I admit there are a number I don't get.

I am a big fan of catchy, and there are no doubts that campaigns could work well with catchy domain names, but I think it is important that we all realize that we probably see our own creations as more catchy than others see them. This is one place that it probably makes sense to have some kind of an informal focus group of friends look at your domain name. If all 10 say "huh?", then probably not good.

No doubt what is catchy is both age specific and regional specific as well.

I suspect the probability of sale for creative catchy names is lower than for domains overall, which is already of course very low. This is fine as long as you go into it with that expectation and still think the numbers can realistically work for you. There is no doubt that the NameBio reports carry not a trivial number of multi-word phrases meant to be catchy.

Anyway, thanks for the thread @ThatNameGuy and all the replies everyone!

By catchy, do you also mean creative? I feel a lot of domain hacks are very catchy. I have these two domain hacks and they suit me well as far as being memorable/marketable.

HumorMe.me
BlogThe.me

I also got creative with "Video" here:

vdopoker.com
vdoslots.com

- sn952

Yes....something that's "catchy" grabs your attention, and it's memorable. HumorMe.me is pretty catchy, but at first i didn't get vdopoker? As such, it didn't grab my attention, but I clearly see that you're more creative than the "average" bear

 

[ThatNameGuy]

Enronn.com ~ 60 billion bankruptcy, but we got that extra "N"

ComputerNetworked.com ~ hahaha cool. Computer Network sold for 100k

Titanicly.com ~ "My Heart Will Motor On" boat mechanical service



Something like this, right?

I'm not so sure? I think you probably own a lot more catchier domains than what you listed. Like a laugh meter that measures laughter or applause from a crowd, maybe there should be a "catchy" meter to determine who gets it, and who doesn't. Like I said however, I know "catchy" when i see it, but I don't think everyone does.

Some of my domains are meant to attract attention like; GolfDied.com. Now golf is truly a dying sport, but Golf Died??? So far when I say to the "average" bloke on the street, "Did you hear "Golf Died"? It spawns an interesting reaction. I just hand registered the name four days ago, and already three different people have asked if they could buy a tee shirt from me with a tombstone saying Golf Died - 1474 - 2020. Then the caption; "Here Lies Golf". Ever hear of a Golf Widow?

 

[ThatNameGuy]

I just got it.....Duh and Ha! Ha! Ha!

This thread would be imo totally incomplete without my favourite catchy domain name:

huge.one - I mean, who would not like domain name like that?

Show attachment 130663

That reminds me of a buddy of mine who's 80 years young, and when I told him some people even name their body parts, he told me he as a name for his;

Lonesome It's not a domain, but it sure was/is funny/catchy

Thanks for starting a thread on catchy domain names @ThatNameGuy . Also thanks to everyone who participated with some catchy (and OK I admit a few head scratching to me too) entries.

Of course all of mine are catchy! So you could just look at my full portfolio.

But OK if I were to pick a few, hmmm, good question! Here are a few of my favourites from different extensions.

• DuckIn.ca (recent acquisition, I thought it was cute, whether duck is a bird or something you do)
• boarding.fun (could skateboard, snowboard, surf or board a party bus for boarding fun)
• RobotVisit.com (who doesn't want a robot to visit them? I also got the visiting robot it's own domain name RobotIs.me)
• brush.best (what more could a dental hygienist ask for - many other best are catchy too)
• Canadian.red (err look at our flag if you don't see why this one is catchy)
• manufacture.one (maybe not funny catchy, but love how descriptive this is of prototyping)
• broadcasts.me (or if I decide I just need to stop domain investing, I also have fires.me )
• smiles.agency (what kind of agency doesn't like smiles? Dental, therapy, education, etc.)
• GoMona.co (I liked it as a hack for Monaco, but also GoMona makes sense with first name)
• mystery.monster (most .monster domains are catchy, but this one, well it is mysterious)
• HappyHelp.net (catchy in a more serious way, this is my favourite .net)

Anyway, I hope everyone's path today in domain investing and in life is a SunnyWay.org (oops did I slip in another catchy one in?). In which case feel free to join the happiness.network.

Thanks again for the thread!

Bob

PS I am sorry but I don't actually have any domain names that literally have the word catchy. I guess I should drop catchy one!

Bob....the first name on your list Duckin.ca is a great name for a Convenience Store, especially with a wacky duck as your logo. It's interesting that we had a famous restaurant on the Bay here called the Duck Inn and even though it closed 10 years ago, they still sell their tee shirts and one of my neighbors has "Duckn" on his vanity license plate. I have simply, "Name Guy" on my license plate.....how boring

This thread spawned me to register two more domains this am; CornerCred and one that's not so catchy, but was available; CornerPawn.com. I was actually shocked Corner Pawn was available, especially with the success of the hit TV show "PawnStars" which I must say is one of the catchiest names known to man. And now that I think about it, probably my catchiest domain is "JumboLumpDaddy" that few reading this thread would get, but has a lot of potential anywhere Blue Crabs are caught and eaten. I didn't make up the name, but registered it after hearing a band play a few years ago called, "Jumbo Lump Daddy and the Backfin Boys" Greatest name of a band EVER imho!!

Thanks for everything Bob and I'm sure glad you're a friend. btw, 9Time™ is gaining cred You suggested I just buy a few domains supporting it, but I couldn't help but buy the domain GolfDied.com a few days ago, and it's already drawn some attention to 9Time™ as I thought it might. Fore!!!

 

[ThatNameGuy]

Thanks for the post and inspiration cause...

EyeGuess I PaidCache

In dot com

Btw, Eye Guess was a really old TV show so this might be the oldest Catchy name going

Also I'm wondering if a typo could be considered a "catchy" name or not? If so I'll post a few of those as well. I hope so cause I know Bob will like them

I like both EyeGuess and PaidCache..."Eye Guess" is certainly "catchy", but I can't think of a way to monetize it. However, PaidCache, I see where you must have regg'd it for the first time today....good job. I'm not sure why, but as a business guy, it has a real good and secure sound. Also, I see where you must have regg'd EyeGuess today too, but it's been regg'd on and off for 15 of the last 20 years telling me no one knew what to do with it either.

Finally, as for typo's, I can't say as I have any "typo" domains, but that's not to say they can't work. I believe Google was a typo and a few others are in the top 20.

 

[ThatNameGuy]

I was a vinyl DJ if that tells you anything .. CDs did exist .. but I stopped DJing just as the CD mixers were starting to get accurate .. at the start they were garrrrrrrrbage! lol

I also own GuestlistPro (in king) and GuestList (dot) info

I recently acquired the Pro.com, but had the .info for a while and was actually always planning on building out out a short an simple page that effectively said something like:

Just because you're on the guestlist does not mean you can get in if you're wearing running shoes, sandals, a t-shirt, shorts or a cap .. and don't expect to get in if you show up anything less than 30 minutes before the end of guestlist. And YES .. it is rude to ask for list and not show up with at least near the number of +'s you asked for.

Ah the joys of nightlife! About 7-8 years ago my friend opened what was at one point essentially the largest club in Canada. So I helped him out the first couple of years .. when I left they replaced me with 4 people! lol

Anyhow .. here are a few more adult/alcohol related names (all in com):

Game Of Inches - Football and/or penis enlargement! lol
Grab My Meat - Just a fun cheeky catchy brand for a butcher
Horny Cupid - Hookups
Hostess Mostess - I actually like this shortened version, it's catchy! lol
I Need A Beer
Sausage Market - BEST GAY NIGHTCLUB NAME EVER !!!
Squished Grapes - Wine
Vote For Mary Jane - Cannabis legalisation

So a buddy of mines restaurant in VB is next door to the coolest Vinyl Record store on planet earth. Go to VinylDazeRecords(.)com to see it. As far as your "catchy" names, I only see one I like, and that's GameOfInches.com....life is a Game Of Inches, but sports, especially football is where this domain/name deserves to be. I have some ideas how I would monetize it, but I refuse to share it with the NP Cabal So it took four people to replace you, did it? That's really catchy!

I like both EyeGuess and PaidCache..."Eye Guess" is certainly "catchy", but I can't think of a way to monetize it.

Yes, that's what I meant by you inspired me

As to Eye Guess... well Eye Guess it would be good for an eye doctor and an eye exam. For example...

Don't Guess With Your Eyes, Visit Dr Who And Be Sure What You See Is What You Get!

Also, there could ALWAYS be a remake of the old 1966 game show and well Eye Guess it would be perfect for it

Regarding typos since I'm also Canadian, I got a bit silly and picked up...

Canardian dot com
Canadens dot com
Canadans dot com

For me right now all hand regs are experiments as I get back into the domain game after being off for awhile.

I also have a strategy which I'll disclose soon.

Btw, I've made some really good money in the past with typos but that is probably no longer the case.

Canardian dot com

I liked this one! Sounds funny when I try to say it with a Canadian accent, (which is not a really good one).
"I'm Canardian, what are you?"

Also, it may be too old of a reference to the tv repairman who used to come to your house and fix televisions but updated towards electric vehicles:

These are all good imho. I wish i had your talent to portray my domains like you. I can visualize how many of my domains might look, but success in this business is dependent on a level of technical competence i don't possess, but I know it's coming

Rich, there are some free online logo-making tools that do a decent job. I've used logaster.com in the past, but there are others. Very little technical competence required! Some of them try to make you pay a fee before downloading the logos, but not all.

 

[Judge9]

I like these 3 Catchy domains

 

[Joakim]

Some of my "catchy" domains are:

 

[PatrickV]

T.w.i.t.s.i.e (dot) c.o.m

Tweet service for kids ...

Sounds good!

I got “Myabc.xyz”, Humor and catchy.

I'm not sure I get it? Then again, I don't "catch" on to everything right away, but I'm told i have a pretty good sense of humor....take DoobieDiner.com for example. I've learned a lot of people have never heard of a "Doobie"....i think it's a generational thing?

Thanks for sharing!
