There’s no perfect way of finding a great domain name for your WordPress blog or website. Here what I do to brainstorm for a great WordPress domain name.

Dump Everything: Write all the words that come to mind in relation to your site and blog. I prefer to do this on an Excel sheet (so I can combine words as well as copy and paste later while searching for domains). The rule here is nothing is dumb, just write it down. I use OneLook because it allows me to find definitions flexibly (I can even use wildcards – I’m a sucker for wildcards) and/or Synonym.Com.

Primary and Secondary: I like to use a memorable combination of two words. For example, one of my sites is called Rustic Sikkim (in development) which is an online travel guide for the Himalayan state of Sikkim so rustic was the ideal word to describe. In my Excel sheet, I make two columns with the heading “Primary” and “Secondary”. You could have a tertiary word column but I think remembering two word domains are so much easier than 3 or more word domains.

Go Nameboy Go: My last stop is usually NameBoy where I plug in my primary and secondary keywords and click the “go nameboy go!” button. Nameboy does its magic and shows me the suggested .com, .net, .ord, .biz and .tv domain names including their availibility.

PS: If your domain name is primarily for a blog then you may want to suffix a domain name with the word ‘blog’.
