Zvarri would have been cool but it does sound a little gay also like a Phoenix fan site Fuck this is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noize Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thinking of a good name is hard. I think the best way to come up with a good name, is to try to put it in a regular conversation and seeing how it sounds. Just replace X with the propsed site name. Like : "Have you been to X lately? I found some great info on that upcoming game..." "Hey, I just went to X and noticed that they added a whole bunch of features to the site... you should heck it out..." You get the idea... For best effect, the name should be short and formed of no more than 3 syllables. This is basic marketing practices. If you look at most succesful sites, you'll see they have fairly simple and short names easily identifiable. 1up. Gamespot. IGN. Kotaku. Joystick. And like I said, it doesn't have to be tied to videogames. Sometimes, the coolest names don't make any sense at all and can make us think of cool logos or visuals. Here are a couple I could suggest (I haven't checked if they're available though). D-Pad SquareFrog Splodge BitBogey GamingDuck Golgot Druvoo Warpcaster (WTF I'm smoking to come up with this? lol!)

Hendo Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Speaking of all this kind of thing, if you're confused, me and Jim (well, mainly Jim obviously) are fiddling with a new logo. It may actually inspire a new name. Though I highly doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phooey Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I've got a soft spot for Play Want Bin, as I used to see those topics on the newsgroups back in the 1800's & then started PWB threads on the original GTM forums all those years ago.
