Anything with "o-mator" in its name has got to be good


I am sometimes tasked with trying to come up with names that have to have available web addresses. Sometimes an impossible task unless you come up with something like Reflectimixit -- or some other almost random list of letters. Finding a name you like is one thing -- finding one that has an available URL is something entirely different.

Then I came across Dot-o-mator - a site to to create potential names. Just enter some prefix words in one box, and suffixes in the other (Or choose one of the word lists below each field). Then click "Combine". Dot-o-mator will assemble every combination of the words into the results box; click "Check Availability" to see if any of them are available.

It's not a perfect tool - far from it, but can be a useful place to spark some new ideas and perhaps get closer to where you need to be. Give it a try.
