How long did it take to think of your domain name?

I think it took me 1 to 2 weeks to make my sites domain name. Neocrisis. The reason it took me so long was because i wanted to have a unique name that means nothing. Google is unique name that means nothing. A unique name that means nothing allows me to have a wide range of content on my site. A friend of mine had to buy a new domain because he switched site content and he had a domain named sqaureff.com **a example** but he now wants to make a site about guns **a example**. Sqaureff.com does not relate to guns, so he has to buy a new domain name. So i think it's worth it to spend a good amount of time on deciding on a domain name.

Mine came from a word that a friend and I coined about 15 years ago. Euphoric Arrythmia.... well, when it came time to start my own off-topic forum I figured that would be a great name. I dropped one of the "r"s and put the two words together.

So far..so good!!

I think it does have a meaning....at least to them, lol
From their website
Quote:
What does 'Google' mean?

The name 'Google' is a play on the word 'googol,' coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. A 'googol' refers to the number represented by a 1 followed by 100 zeros. It's a very large number. In fact, there isn't a googol of anything in the universe -- not stars, not dust particles, not atoms. Google's use of the term reflects our mission to organize the world's immense (seemingly infinite) amount of information and make it universally accessible and useful.

It didn't take long to come up with it, but it took a while to decide if that was the one I wanted to use out of the short list I had come up with.

1st one was the closest one I could come to Phenomenalwomen.com which was already taken. About 5 minutes?

The 2nd one came to me in my sleep. I woke up and went to godaddy to look it up. Just my luck, it was available!
