Name Spinning

Name Spinning is using a thesaurus to generate optional domain names. For instance, if you’re looking for a domain for “house renting,” a name spinner might come up with “house renting.com”,”casa renting.com”, “house leasing.com” and “casa leasing.com.” One of my favorites has been DomainsBot but NameBoy is really making a good impression.

Name Boy has a better spread of optional names; Domainsbot will sometimes wind up with things like “easyhomerenting” and “myhomerenting” which are sort of bland.

It was about five or six years ago when a client encouraged me to consider a name spinning tool. He had a domain registration service and the one he used was, frankly, terrible. I always got hung up on how to break up a domain request ( houserenting) into the component words, but these namespinners rely on the user’s input of keywords.

Give nameboy a try; it’s a lot of fun.
