Help me name my software product
2006-07-12, 11:23 AM #1
I registered lampbb.com/net/org, but I got mixed reactions from people here. I'm close to the point where I'm going to hire a designer to make things look pretty, but I need to finalize a name. I am having second thoughts about LampBB. My software company is named Oak Patch Software. I was thinking "Oak Board" because it's sort of clever, but the domain name is already taken. So then I thought "Oak Forum" - I can get oakforum.com (assuming you guys don't suck and register it now), but it's sort of boring. Do you like it? Any other suggestions? Suggestions need to have open .com domain names with no dashes or underscores.

Also, the product is a message board that allows people to sign up for and manage their own forums (as opposed to just signing up for an account and posting on someone else's forums). The beta is at http://beta.massassi.net/

damn, too bad Oak Board is registered. That's perfect.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

You should ask around here first. There are plenty of talented amateur designers that will work for much cheaper than what you'll find elsewhere.

OakBB works, I guess.

What does your board do that others don't? What makes yours unique? That's what I would consider when coming up with a name.

You can't name a board after a feature :/

That's why you have to be slightly intelligent when coming up with names that reflect the unique nature of your new technology. Adjectives might be good.

Imo, you can't reflect it very well in a name whether by subtlety or obviousness. Especially not for a forum board. My earlier examples were not good, obviously. He'll sell his board (his new technology if you want to call it that) through its presentation and some smart marketing. Whether the name of his board is OakBB or SupernewyetsubtlefeaturenameBB.
