View Full Version : Trying to think up a domain name.

I want to release an open source library that I wrote but since it's Java, I need a proper domain name for the package name. I've been using a placeholder name based upon my name but that domain is actually owned and used by someone else and besides, it's a lame domain name.

I've been trying to think of something which is decent for open source software. I'm completely drawing a blank. The few ideas I've had have all been taken and none were that great to begin with.

I may want to use this for other projects in the future, so I don't really want to tie it to what the thing does.

Anybody have any ideas that they're willing to share?

a .com name I'm guessing? (as there's craploads of other . name extentions now)

I was thinking org, but I can work with com or net. I'm not too enthused with some of the odd new ones, especially the country ones.
