Case Study: Company Name Generator - NameMESH

Continuing on the previous post, we decided to test our current version on NameMESH Generator.

We want to go ahead with a very popular domain, so we choose 'photos'.

14 million – Number of Instagram accounts created during 2011.

60 – The average number of photos uploaded per second to Instagram.

100 billion – Estimated number of photos on Facebook by mid-2011.

51 million – Total number of registered users on Flickr.

4.5 million – Number of photos uploaded to Flickr each day.

6 billion – Photos hosted on Flickr (August 2011).

1 – Apple iPhone 4 is the most popular camera on Flickr.

Let's take the problem of naming a company which wants to make a mobile app to take photos using phone camera. This is a popular scenario and finding a .COM may be challenge. Some may say that it might be hard to even find a cheap premium domain.

Well, Lets give our NameMESH generator a shot.

So, we began with defining the word buckets. Remember bucket? Its used to hold your concept keywords.

So, we defined our first bucket with words - 'snap', 'grab', 'cool'. we choose 'snap', 'grab' as it is used to capture images. we also included 'cool' as it takes cool pics and we are inline with this concept as well.

While selecting the words, we found 'flip' in the drop down suggestion and we decided to have it as well.

Now, we define the second bucket. we choose 'pic', 'photo'. And added 'picture' and 'image' from suggestions as well.

Then we hit GO!

So, What were the results.

Let's begin with Generic combinations. 

We found 2 domains namely,  'snappicture' and 'flippicture' as available. This is great as generic domains are really good for SEO. So we decided to check using Google Adwords Tool.

And we found that 'snap picture' has 49,500 global monthly searches and 'flip picture' has 74,000 global monthly searches.

This is awesome! We found two .COM of high SEO available.

Now, lets move on to the Hacks generator.

We found a lot of names but listing only which we thought could be branded.

coolopic, cooloto, coolicture, coolpictur, koolpicture, grabpik, picturool, graboto, imagool, picturot, photab, grabicture, grabpictur, imagot, picturab, imagab, picturap, flipicture, flipopic, snapimag, flippictur, imagap, coolic, koolpic, koolphoto, hotpik, grabic, picool, photool, picot, grabapic, snapapic, photot, hotpictur, snappic, snappik, snapic, flipic, flipapic, flippik, snapicture, flipapicture, photap

So we found almost 40 good names. And for 22 .COM was available. These were:

coolopic, cooloto, coolicture, coolpictur, koolpicture, grabpik, picturool, graboto, imagool, picturot, photab, grabicture, grabpictur, imagot, picturab, imagab, picturap, flipicture, flipopic, snapimag, flippictur, imagap

Notice: 'flipicture' is also available as a hack.

Conclusion:

Its possible to find an awesome .COM domain with high SEO importance (125,000 global monthly visitors) even for an immensely popular 'photo' products/apps.

Also, we didn't try other keywords like 'capture', 'shoot', 'camera', 'zoom' etc. Which could help find a lot many more domains.

A Company Name Generator that actually works!

Our previous post covered about the main domain name generators which are fast and simple.

Moreover, these don't have any limits. They are using whole wide world of internet, linguistics and other techniques to generate names. These are perfect for brainstorming and looking for some inspiration.

But sometimes one might not want that kind of brainstorming and would want it to limit to some set of keywords of concept. This is generally the case in naming a company. The keyword space might be confined to the domain or expertise of the company. With so much of overlapping in domain and competition in the market, finding a company name has become a challenge.

A company name has to be short, brandable, marketable and a dozens of other things. Its the first thing you use to introduce yourself to everyone including customers and investors. But most importantly it should be available as well, especially with a COM domain.

To solve this problem, We decided that we needed something different, a custom solution that only concentrates on company names. And we built it!

The NameMESH Generator, which allows user to:

1) Specify their concept(s) with a set of their chosen key word(s) in, what we call a word bucket. Since, most good names only have 1 to 2 degree of conceptual inference in them, we decided to limit it to at most 2 buckets. A company name is generated by merging the keyword(s) in bucket 1 with the keyword(s) in bucket 2.

2) We didn't wanted to completely turn off the inspiration switch. So, we decided we will give you some key word suggestions based on the key word you chose.

3) We decided to fine tune this generator for company names, by providing two generators. Combinations - which generates all possible combinations out of the keywords without compromising SEO. And Hack Generator - which does a lot of hacks to find a good company name. 

But does it works, check out our next post for a case study.

NameMesh Beta Launched!

NameMesh Beta is now live!

So what? is it?

It's Name + Mesh. Mesh refers to "Any of the open spaces in a net or network". And NameMesh finds its purpose in discovery of the open, missed out, cool, interesting, trending names in today's over-crowded name space.

Our mission is make sure there is a healthy supply of innovative names that one can claim easily by booking the domain. The total number of domains registered has reached 240 million, with com/net having a combined total of approximately 118.5 million domain names. That's a lot of names! Finding a perfect name which represents one's brand, product, vision is becoming a lot harder. Also, thanks to almost 12 million com/net parked domains, the name is there to be taken but one still cannot have it unless one has deep pockets.

So what have we launched to alleviate the problem, different ways to find the perfect name :-

1) Using related words - These can be synonyms, antonyms or loosely similar words. And we have lots of them. We have millions of these relationships and are adding more. These are very helpful in realizing one's concept or an idea. We found NameMesh using it!

2) Using Seo-Friendly words - These are mainly dictionary words derived from the main keywords. Hence, these are meaningful words which can be used instead of the main keyword. However,  these are limited, but not to be missed out on.

3) Jumbling words - Mixing and overlapping words with prefixes and suffixes to generate new names. This can generate a huge pool of names and is usually a super set of the previous run.

4) Using hacks - Hacks like hackr, checkr are trending and so we had to have it.

So try them out at NameMesh. We would love to hear from you. Please send us your feedback and ideas. You can also ask us anything through our blog.
