I just got a reminder from my domain registrar that a name I registered is coming up for renewal. That name? NaClK9.com
Does that look funny to you? NaClK9.com? Let me break it down: NaCl (Sodium Chloride, ie Salt) and K9 (Canine, Dog). Salt Dog. Salty Dog. Get it? Kinda cute, but maybe too clever by half.
Thus my conundrum… I like the domain name as it’s short and meaningful. It’s easier to say than SaltyDogLLC.com (why don’t they make LLC a TLD???). I think it appeals to geekier set, but I don’t want to seem elitist (an unforgivable flaw in this benighted age). Should I start using it on a regular basis, or should I stick with the one I’ve been using?

I got turned onto the site domai.nr (http://domai.nr) a while ago. Great for playing with names.
Still can’t sort out a good one though…yet.

Perhaps too clever. I might forget as my chemistry goes south on occasion.

No, no – if anything, it’s too obvious. ‘course I’m not quite sure about the whole “Salty Dog” thing to start w/ … I knew a great bar by that name.

See…this is the conundrum (I may not have elucidated it clearly enough in my post.) Is it too clever? Too obvious? Should I just stick with SaltyDogLLC.com or move to NaClK9.com?
