What sort of name do you want? Do you want a name that can umbrella any venture you persue? A generic one or something more specific? eg DR Corp or DR Media or DR Blogging?

My own feeling is that, for a company name, something more generic would be better (despite my word Earners suggestion)

Think about: What makes your blog different and unique? Why is the world better for it? What would we miss if it went away tomorrow? If your blog were a famous person, who would he/she be?

If we’re going into anagrams, how about Rendar Worse? Maybe not.

How about: Word Earners

Subtley describes what you do. And, incredibly, is an anagaram of Darren Rowse, if I’m not mistook (I have checked it – but you know Murphy’s Law…)

And yes that took me flippin ages to work out!! lol. Your should of seen some of the others I stumbled across in the process… “Wonder Rears” made me laugh.

I accumulate a number of names (for which domains are available) to use for my own startups someday — or those I invest in.

I think one that might work for you is POPICO (Think “Pop Icon”).

I would happily transfer popico.com to you, at no charge, if you are interested — as a gesture of good faith.

I don’t know what’s up with the ‘3′. Just coincidence…

Dear Darren,

I suggest that you should remain descriptive and call it “The hardest working man in Ltd.”

Goes great with T-shirts too!

You should check out:
http://www.domainsbot.com/

This fun web site takes you through iterations of names based on the availability of the url, the name you would like, and words that you can rank as being important. It’s just the little creative boost you may need.

I’m not great with names so I open MS Word and begin typing words that relate to what I’m trying to do (wiki, people, media, etc.). Then I open the thesaurus (Shift + F7) to find more words. After about 10 minutes I start to see if a name is coming together and check for domain avail. If not, I start the process all over again — with new words, of course.

Most recently this led me to http://www.socialwiki.com, which will soon be a Classmates.com ripoff, freebie, wiki-style, personal pages network.

BTW: Keep up the great work. I’ve been reading for about 2 months now.

Me and my friends often think of the name in English and translate it to the ancient Pali. Pali is the language in which the scriptures of Theravada Buddhism were written down in Sri Lanka. We generally like the sound of the words. It’s also easier to find Pali words that is not registered anywhere for anything.

There is an online dictionary available at:

Hope that helps.
