What's in a Name?
By Robyn Greenspan
December 11, 2000

Creating and registering a domain name is one of the very first tasks for the budding netrepreneur. Many domain names are critical to branding so it''s important that your choice reflects the nature of your e-business. However, your options might be fairly limited -- there are 26 million names registered so your first, second and third choices may not be available.

Well, if all your creativity was tapped during other e-business brainstorming, why not use a tool to find a cool domain name for you? Using knowledgeable linguistics engines, NameBoy offers a dynamic domain name generator that also searches sale and auction availability.

By entering some keywords and selecting a couple of options, NameBoy will create a list of dozens of viable choices for domain names. Not only does NameBoy include the .com, .net and .org domains in the results, but also .nu, .vu, .biz, .info, .pro, .tv, .cc and international codes as well.

Accurate and relevant domains are generated by the utilization of six intelligent modules:

  • The SmartParser breaks up the user''s keywords into separate components.
  • Phonology uses sound to generate similar or rhyming results.
  • The Morphology Engine finds other forms of the keywords and may result in adding an affix or processing the words into natural language or compounds.
  • Syntagtm combines correct syntax with currently relevant and topical words.
  • Semantics uses brainstorming to come up with applicable substitutions for the keywords. Internet jargon and slang is included.
  • NameBoy''s Optimal Result Ranking processes the efforts of the name generation modules and compiles them by appraisal value and how closely they resemble the initial request.

In addition to producing the most effective domain, NameBoy allows you to purchase and manage your domain names from their Web site. Take a look at some related articles that stress the importance of choosing the most appropriate domain name:
