Im wondering what you guys think about my domain name

**ahwoogah** · 12-05-2007 09:59 PM

My website is going live soon but as of lately i havent been so sure about my domain name witch is "ahwoogah.com" I was wondering what you guys think of it. The reason i ask this because i was saying it out loud to myself and i think its hard for someone to pronounce it so please give me a little heads up about what to do. I have a few other ideas for a domain such as; shop2drop.com or buyurs.com but i dont want to use anything with the word "buy" because of buy.com

I am hesitant to give my opinion because the last time you asked for it, you refused to consider it and instead just defended your own concepts. Why then, I must ask, are you even posting here? Reassurance? Trying to spread word of your site maybe?

Go back to your original thread where you were already provided opinions as to the site's name, which is the LEAST of your problems.

You really need to understand that falling in love with a miserable idea, especially when you don't have the business know-how to make it work, is a recipe for throwing money away.

I have no idea how to pronounce it and I don't think people will remember it. It seems hard to spell too.
I would consider changing it, but only if it won't have any effect on your site.

What is the website for? There are certain types of websites that call for a strange name. If this is supposed to be a 'sales' site you should consider a different name.

**ahwoogah** · 12-06-2007 04:06 PM

Yea i plan on retailing products

**ltressel** · 12-06-2007 04:15 PM

Your products related to military? Because your chosen name is the Marine's chant isn't it? Other than that-spelling it on the search bar is gonna be a pain in the ass. Drop it. It's forgettable unless you are a hard core Marine.

yea i think ima drop it and come up with something that has to do with shopping and retail

**zoobie** · 12-06-2007 07:12 PM

That really depends on you if you stick with your domain. What would your keywords be?

**suave2** · 12-06-2007 07:23 PM

yea i dont really like the name that much. maybe if you would drop the h's would be better. awooga. but i think its the best to focus on like what your shop is about what you are about to sell and stuff

probably then we can give u some ideas..

gl anyway

I like the domain name. It's different and could be catchy... that's up to you on how you market it. "shop2drop.com or buyurs.com" is boring (to me). Just my two cents...when it comes to creative it's hard to listen to others. Do you think people thought google was a great name when they first heard it?

The problem isn't whether the domain relates to the type of site, it's whether a user can hear the name and 1. Easily remember it and 2. Easily spell it. Awooga is better than it is now. But I would still find something easier to say, spell, and remember.

yea im wit jmeng its not easier to say or spell so i came up with a better domain name and its Shopcorrect.com with the slogan of The Correct way of shopping. Just purchased the domain and the site will go live next week with electronics, clothing. shoes and other products for sale

**nelsen3000** · 12-07-2007 03:34 AM

shop to drop is good

**xalimx** · 12-07-2007 03:46 AM

IMHO , put something difference doesn't mean all people like to remember it or not. But when its too BIG DIFFERENT and hard to say, nobody will interested and can remember those name unless they already bookmark you sites on browser. Am I right about this??

reconsider you domain name and find something "new" and comfortable for users to remember.

anybody know what "xalim" or "xalimx" mean?? from any perspective or language. Thx
