  • Contest Title
  • Domain name needed for a new Q&A service
  • Contest Category
  • Community & Social
  • Detailed Brief
  • We are looking for a short and creative domain name for a new question-and-answer website, which will offer free as well as paid (premium) Q&A services to its users. Our service mantra (for now) - Crowdsourcing answers.

    Please go through the following points regarding the ideal domain name we need:

    1) It must be SHORT (preferably between 5-7 letters) and catchy, and easy to spell and pronounce.
    2) It should NOT be generic, i.e. www.getananswer.com for example, but should be unique and brandable.
    3) It should preferably contain no more than two syllables, i.e. Google ("goo" and "gle") for example, and should rhyme well.
    4) Compound names, i.e. TechCrunch for example, are encouraged - they should be relevant, but creative.
    5) Blended names, i.e. Skype (sky + peer-to-peer) for example, and tweaked names, i.e. Askeet (Ask "it") for example, are also encouraged - they should be short and elegant.
    6) Made-up (empty vessel) names, i.e. Meebo for example, will also be considered - they should be short and distinctive, and if they have any relevance to our service, please drop in a comment about it as well.
    7) We are NOT looking for dozens of similar-sounding name suggestions with slight variations, but some distinct ones following our guidelines - please remember that quality, not the quantity, of the suggestions posted will be the criteria for judging the winner.

    Good luck, and thanks!

    The contest came to a very satisfactory end. :) We decided on, and registered, the domain www.GenCrowd.com - which we feel would quite adequately reflect the spirit of our upcoming service. Congrats airzazhy!

    Also, we can't thank the other participants enough for coming up with some really great suggestions - it gave us something to think and brainstorm on. It would have been a shame if some of the other deserving contestants would have gone empty-handed; hence, we gave out a $25 bonus each to zinnyzoo and lightless. Congrats to both to you as well, and sorry you couldn't win!

    Finally, thanks to SquadHelp for such an innovative, useful service - keep up the good work!
  • Great going..

    Hi - we have gotten a few excellent suggestions thus far; our favorites include Quarify (Questions Clarify), QueryU, Crowdivity, GenCrowd, CrowdByte, Cueser (Spanish for Question - clever!), and Inquirely, among other good ones.

    Now, with just a day left before we pick the winning entry, please review the entries we liked and see if you can top them with other creative names. Please note that "crowd" is still being given emphasis at this point; however, we will readily consider any clever, AND relevant, name. Thanks again!

    Thanks for the helpful suggestions so far; much appreciated. :) Now, based on further feedback, we are contemplating on using the word "crowd" in our domain name, i.e. for crowdsourcing. Our website may not just be limited to crowdsourcing answers, but may include other crowdsourcing services as well, later on. Hence, please do not niche your names specifically for Q&A; an open, creative name (Compound/Blends) using the "crowd" concept is what we are looking for. Examples of what we like - Crowdify.com, CrowdTap.com.

    Thanks, and hoping to get some excellent ideas!

    Thanks for all of the submissions so far.

    @moretal, @deluxeconcepts1: Good compound words, but the terms have to be somehow related to each other, even distantly.
    @tkpro72: Nice blending of words, but they have to flow naturally together; the blends seem forced in your case. @NamyBeth: I appreciate the effort, but you just seem to be joining random parts of two words together; you have to be more creative than that.
    @thirteenhours: You are on the right path here.

    Keep going, guys; fingers crossed. :)
