Name the New Site

Post by Vardaen » Thu Mar 19, 2015 5:42 pm

Here is our thread to help us brainstorm names for the new site. We need to do this quickly so don't delay. We want a name that suggests who we are what we do and makes sense, but is also fun and exiting! Some guidelines for this include:

Don't pick a user's name. We aren't looking for Shurijo's RPG Corner.

Don't pick a copyrighted name. We don't need George Lucas coming after us for some Star Wars reference.

Check if some other site already has that name in use.

So with that said.... just brain storm names and post them here!

Here are the serious name options we've heard of. In no particular order.

Drat. My old geocities website was called Shurijo's Sanctuary :)

A few ideas:

Corner
Haven
Games

Small words so it's not a lot of typing.

Or maybe something that forms an R.P.G. acronym like Respectable Panda Games?

Vardaen's Pen-and-Paper Edge!
Shurijo's Wargame Hallway!
TetNaks Dice-Rolling Bathroom!
Trogdor's LARPing Basement!

OK, I'm done being silly. I have no actual suggestions.

Adventures In Rpg

I think V should take any suggestions and put them in first post. I can see this thread getting long with various suggestions.

Role Players Guild (.com) not taken and bonus it spells RPG :)

For those searching for names, I recommend internic whois

http://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois

just enter the root domain and TLD like "google.com" (no http or www)

Some domain search sites will save what you're searching for, then buy it, and try to sell it because if someone is searching for it, then that means somebody might buy it.

I will second Role Player's Guild and add the tagline:

"Crafting stories, one post at a time..."
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"

One thing I wish, was there should be a "Like" button for posts. Because I'd like that post :)

Also should it be:

Role Player Guild
Role Players' Guild
Role Player's Guild

Only important if we need the 's' in domain name. I'm not sure I checked available of with "s" and without 's".
