Thread: Could you help me with naming?

  1. #1

    Default Could you help me with naming?

    Hello! I'm entrepreneur from Russia. I started to learn English 1,5 yers ago, and I need help
    I'm preparing to start up new online service. It will be a MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) provider.
    The goal of this project is learning some fresh new knowledge, which are unavailable with traditional education yet, because these ones are such new.
    "Social media marketing" for example, or "Modern ways of Conflict Resolution", or "History of rock music" and anything from other authors.
    And now I have to choose a name (domain) of this project. I have 9 favourite variants:

    FunToSkill.com
    WillSkill.com
    Skillar.com
    UnSkill.com
    UniLore.com
    GotLore.com
    AveLore.com
    BidLore.com
    LearnFor.com

    As a native speakers, can you help me understand these deeper and make out the best one?
    What do you think about each of list?
    What associations do you have with them?
    Which of these are sound good?
    Which of these are remembered well?
    Which of these are definitely unsuitable and why?

    I'm really thankful for your any help!

    I don't think most people know what "lore" is, so those are out.

    I'm not a fan of the others.

    How about something like "ModernOnlineCourses" or "Today'sOnlineCourses" or something along those lines. At least it'll identify what your site is about.

    I'm with David on "lore" being confusing... Lore reminds me of some kind of fantasy world like Lord of The Rings.

    My recommendation is to clearly spell out what they're getting from your site in the name. The name should convey a benefit.

    You might want to focus on these courses being so new in your name. "Cutting edge" is an English phrase that means really really new.

    "FreshCourses.com"
    "HotCourses.com"
    "TrendingCourses.com"
    "LeadingEdgeCourses.com"
    "BleedingEdgeCourses.com"
    "CuttingEdgeCourses.com" (I like this one, it uses alliteration with the two C's)

    I like the "CuttingEdgeCourses" too.
