I'm stuck for a name?!
 

Well I have a board setup just about ready to go, but I'm basically lacking a name, and am wondering if any of you wonderful people out there would be willing to help come up with a name for my board/domain.

The board will be setup for local area freecyclers to post their stuff for wants/offers etc, but I also want it to be a place to discuss local events and topics for the surrounding area.

I want to target more freecycling, but there has to be a good base for other locally related news/discussions etc.

Anyone feel like taking a stab at a name that doesn't specifically apply to one for the other (freecycling/local stuff) but would still convey the relevance of the board?

free-cycling.net
free-cycling.org
free-cycling.info

If you like, go for these domains, since you are targeting @ them. Just my suggestion. ;)

Domains Checked & Available.

My another suggestion will be,

junkriders.com
junkriders.net
junkriders.org
junkriders.info

Naan-Kadavul

they're all great names but it's too specific to freecycling. I also want to focus on chat, and local events in and around the city, but I'm worried about having a specific name like those lest people be less inclined to do any actual chatting or hanging around.

losersonbikes.com

This is a serious suggestion, it sounds dumb but you won't forget it.

freecyclersunited.com ?

losersonbikes .... lol. It has that unforgettable quality that's for sure, but just hearing that name seems like something totally different than what the board is about.


Boofo, That one has crossed my mind, I even checked into the domain.

Here's my dilemma, because I really like freecyclersunited. .... it can alsobe abbreviated as FU ;)

The people who are part of the freecycle groups now don't appear to be forum users, that's fine, but alot of them(75%?) are not too keen on the idea of another website/group(they think it's a group of some kind) for freecycling where the same people can be part of "yet another group" and post the same stuff somewhere else, increasing duplicate emails with nothing new.
What I'm doing can fix these problems, and open up a whole community where a yahoo group can not.....but again, most of these people really know not how to use extra features of YG.

However, alot of these people also really like the idea of a place to find out about stuff going on in and around town, quite frankly so do i because you can't find jack shite about what's going unless you already know about it.

If I target a name towards freecycling, I'm worried people will get the wrong idea about the "local database" let's call it, and it will have less interest because people don't want to be part of yet another freecycling group with the same crap....etc.

If I target the name towards local goings on, events and what have you, then the freecycling aspect may suffer, which I don't want to see because as I say, a forum could easily solve a LOT of the problems people complain about and be a much better venue for the freecyclers(while giving them other things to complain about lol)


and that's why/where I'm stuck.

I ran across the same thing with my new forums. I wanted it to be local, but yet available to others if they found anything interesting. I ended up using my town name as part of the domain name. (example (in your case): desmoinescyclers.com). It makes it local but still open to those around us.

freecyclersunlimited - so you can talk about anything.

cyclersanonymous - haven't checked the domain, just the first name that popped into my little head.

For this purpose, it sounds like a website for cyclists, great name, wrong demographic :)

Another FU eh :D
