    if you got trouble finding names then the best way would be watching programs that show the latest gaming news, or like slnet said you can look for gaming magazine.. or sports magazine.. you will find some good names.

    look for some new coming up games use these names in your domain. if you plan to run ur site you may be ranked higher as there would be less competition

    Developed a four point scoring system to determine whether a given domain name is a good choice. Give one point for each criterion that passes muster. Four out of four is best, though you'll seldom score that high.

    1. Short.
    A good domain name should be short, the shorter the better. Recently, Art-U-Frame.com was able to acquire the art.com name for $450,000. Can you blame them? If you were stuck with Art-U-Frame.com, even your mother couldn't remember your URL. Short is better chiefly for two reasons: it is easy to spell without error and it is memorable. Incidently, after the name change sales doubled.

    2. Memorable
    But not all short URLs are memorable. I spoke to a company recently who decided to get some domain name like bscs.com, the initials for Boyle's Sierra Carpeting Sales. Sure, bscs.com is short, but it is only memorable to a handful of company insiders. Now if you're IBM, then using initials for your domain name makes sense; that's how your customers know you. But most of the time, using initials for your domain name is a most unmemorable and customer-unfriendly approach to business.
    If the domain name makes no sense in and of itself it is not memorable, and your customers won't be able to remember what in the world it is. Much better would be a domain name like boylescarpet.com, for it is both memorable and meaningful.
    Dr. Michel Fortin, the "Success Doctor" from Ottawa, Canada, has a knack with domain names. He observes that rhythm and meter can make a business name or domain name memorable. When we were looking for a domain name back in November 1995, wilsonweb.com seemed to capture it. It has a kind of singsong character that makes you remember it. It also met our third criteria.

    3. Related to Your Core Business or Business Name
    The very best domain name should be one you can guess. Yesterday I wanted to find Focus on the Family so I entered www.focusonthefamily.org. Sure enough, there it was. Their core domain was family.org (that's nice!), but I could find them by just entering their organization name.
    If your business name is too clumsy, look for something that relates to your business. An Indonesian teak furniture company, Indofurn, selected solidteak.com. Is that better than indofurn.com do you think? Which is more memorable? Perhaps both domain names would be better.

    4. Hard to Misspell
    Our fourth criterion may seem obvious -- hard to misspell -- but you'd be surprised how many domain names are tough to spell if you've only heard it orally. Many people are poor spellers. Still others are poor typists. Combine them together and you're better off with a short, memorable, logical, easy-to-spell domain name. Here's one: rosevilleelectic.com. It does pretty well with criterion 3, since it is the electric company for Roseville, California, but the doubled "e" in the center of the name makes you wonder about the spelling. You could put a hyphen between the words, but then you'd always need to explain on the phone, "It's roseville-electric.com with a hyphen between the words." If you always have to explain how to spell your domain name, then it's not a very good one. Which leads us to another issue.

    That is very well presented, boboch. Choosing a domain name that describes what you are selling makes it easy for people to find you.
    I recently had a dilemna with your number four, finding a domain name that is hard to mispell. The best combination words I could find meant that the domain name ended up having two Ks in the middle as in silkknickers. I toyed with the idea of dropping one k buy decided against it, matters being complicated by the fact that one of the Ks is silent anyway in the single word. Only time will tell.

    I guess your plan is to hand register a domain and make money by parking it?
    not going to be easy. if you want a good domain with traffic I think u need to buy in the second market
