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 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!

If it means brandable and makes you smile/laugh, maybe these are some examples?

All .com

Dear Webby (Advice on the web?)
Tees Me (T-Shirt Sales?)
Magic Wanda (Not sure what Wanda is selling...)
Munch Boxes (lunch anyone?)
Yacks (chat site where people can yack all they want...)

Yep....they're all "catchy"...now to figure out how to best monetize them. Did you create them yourself, or buy them aftermarket?
The one I've mentioned that has the greatest income potential is CornerFlea. Pretty much everyone I know has shopped at a Flea Market and has certainly enjoyed the experience. I'm so busy developing 9Time™ that I don't have time for anything else, but for someone who has the business savvy, experience and expertise CornerFlea could rival someone like Amazon. Does that only make sense to me, or does anyone understand what I'm saying?

Really? I thought everyone would get it right away.

I think it is intended as a hack for Blog Theme, and could be used for I guess WP plugins, a blog reference site thematically arranged, or general advice on making blogs for a trainer. I may be wrong, but that is how I read the domain name.

Ahh, yes now that you mention it I see it

I kept thinking Blog The

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?

A catchy Meter would would work

I reckon if environmental consultants can use cost-benefit analyses, and apply a monetary value to happiness (so a Meter( for protecting a Koala reserve, then a value could easily be applied to catchy... ness.

You would just have to look at where it's being applied.

Your brand "Golf Died" isn't exactly the "Hello World," but a slogan can build momentum.
Your domain has sporting written on the can.

CTRLHack.com and exeRUN.com and CMDFile.com are some computer ones I have. I guess they're catchy. .exe is a file format, and CTRL being the keyboard command, and CMD being the word for Command on Windows.

It's tough because all to find something catchy for everyone. That's where the money is.

I like it now that you explained it. However, what I've found is that while a lot of domains are "catchy", few are ever monetized. When I create what I think is a "catchy" domain, take 9Time™ or CornerFlea™ for example, my mindset immediately turns to, how can I or anyone else monetize it? Regardless of whether you like my names (according to NP critics my names are "crappy" and not "catchy"). However, I know enough about business that both of the "catchy" domains I shared here can be developed into mega million dollar businesses, one for a new sport that resembles golf, but it's not, and the other CornerFlea that's a HUGE.one when considering how much business can be done on street corners around the world. Make Sense?....ever watch the Canadian sitcom CornerGas?

Finally, I just researched the top 100 Brand names from around the world and only found maybe a dozen names that I would consider "catchy". Here are a few;

Google
PayPal
CostCo
YouTube
Pampers

Thanks for chiming in....btw, Chimein.com is long gone

I'm a British so in the UK.But if they ever show Canadian TV I will take a look

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 waiting for you to post one I liked before saying how much I didn't like CornerFlea .. lol .. Flea Market is akin to Five and Dime ... in that it's pretty much a dying term (much faster than golf). CornerDollar or even CornerBuck (available now at handreg) would be the better ones .. but even dollar stores are in need of a new term as most products are now all priced over $1. BTW .. FleaDied is also available at handreg! lol

But given that .. that's why I'm happy to say I do like CornerPawn .. it's not really the same type of "catchy" .. but it's not a bad domain because pawnshop is not an outdated term .. and in fact it'll probably be a term used for many more years to come. That being said there are tons of alternatives since the fact a pawnshop is on a corner isn't really an enhancing adjective (like SuperPawn or something like that) .. but it most certainly could be argued that "corner" means it's on your street corner, so it's close to you, which is a good thing .. so CornerPawn is a decent domain .. even more so at handreg.

FThe Guestlist - Because I used to DJ/manage clubs and do promotions

That made me laugh and smile...we have some similar life experiences. When I was a much younger man I became friends with a club owner in Miami and ended up starting a side business marketing/consulting clubs...took me all over the country...East coast primarily...with it ending in Detroit (long story but Windsor had something to do with it!).

I will get busy to see if I can reg a good hack for the thread...

 

[Zilla]

I also like the name listed at catchy.com...please the eye and ear, fully brandable..

 

[ResoluteDomains]

We've got:

 

[adaaja98]

LifeSad.com

Im sad at that time, i type sad in domain generator and then found that domain available for hand reg. Then i buy it, lol.

 

[skyz21]

Pezoni.com

 

[Global Rebrander]

ENZNI.com

According to Phonetics
Words with repeated pattern is not just highly catchy but also hard to forget.

Z is a powerful letter in a word.

Majority of brands have 2 syllabus in their brand name

E, N, I are very popular letters

And last but not the least

Since enzni is a custom created word, there is no chance of brand name duplication .

Enzni . Com is unbeatable

ForYourLips.com

 

[NicTraders]

My favourite is definitely SockGobbler.com

Letus.Dance

I always liked "Lettuce" in place of "Letus" for a "catchy" domain, but Letus.Dance as a ngTLD is "catchy" as well

valuable.host
identitytheft.id

I like identitytheft.id. However, unless you know specifically how to monetize it or develop it, it's of little value. I mentioned when I first joined NP a couple of years ago, I loved all the new gTLD's because for me, they gave a domain a new dimension and added value....or so I thought. I owned domains like FreePizza.Today and Payday.Loans. "Catchy"....sure, but outside of you, me and domainers, few people understand them. One of the first domains like this I saw, PingPong.gives (a charity/benefit for Ping Pong), I thought, how cool Now keep in mind I was 70 years old young, and I'd named and ran dozens of businesses in my lifetime and a name like "Payday Loans" would have been a great name if I were to be in that business. I also owned a bunch of .golf domains that I thought were way cool, but when Donuts, the registry that owned the .golf extension reneged on working with me to sell their domains I decided it was time to throw in the towel. The very same thing happened with about a hundred .homes domains that I owned and still own, but when the registry for .homes, Dominion Domains, who are right here in my hometown wouldn't work with me, I lost all respect for this seriously screwed up industry
