Naming woes
1 point by Nib on April 19, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Hey guys, I recently developed a set of tools for various applications, it mainly includes number type converter(base conversion), quadratic equation solver, among others. So, here's my question, WHAT DO I NAME THE WEBSITE AND THE SET OF TOOLS cause most nice domains have already been taken and I did thought of the domain, zathena.com, u know, like the power of Zeus in the the hands of Athena but it sounds somewhat silly, so, any suggestions!!!


If it's a "broad" library it's probably hard to come up with a succint name.

But you could do something like "niblib.io", "nibworks.io", "nibtools.io".


It's actually a library for use in pretty much every students life, you know, Maths students, CS STudents and even Physics students, plus slowly I will expand this collection to even include tools related to Bio and stuff. And also (though .io isn't bad) I prefer .com and also NibLib makes it sound like a library and I seem to like NibWorks but it's just that I want it to be something that's not self-centered(cause Nib's my online Nickname)and also little interesting sounding, say, like Napster or Facebook or Apple( Senseless, funny but like WOW). So any more suggestions...


That was the best i had - I'm terrible at naming stuff ;) Give it a few days, maybe something will pop for you. Insisting on a .com name makes it a lot harder to find a decent name though.


Ya, will sure do and have now decided to move over .com and most of us Devs are bad at this stuff, but thanks for trying to help.
