Catchy Domain Help

Posted by Anonymous on 250 Points
I'm starting a B2C eCommerce website that will allow people to buy fasteners (and eventually tools); e.g. bolts, nuts, screws, etc. So far I've registered the following keyword-rich domains:
fastnr
fastenshop
ineedfasteners
buyfasteners
bolts2nuts
boltsnnuts
screwstonuts
screws2nuts

I'm looking for something catchy (.com only) e.g. Twitter, Flickr, etc. Can you guys help me come up with something?

    Phil, thanks for the input. Yes, of course we'll camel-case our domain name, hehe. Just did a simple copy paste above from our register.

    Thanks, Cook.

    Phil, thanks for the input. Yes, of course we'll camel-case our domain name, hehe. Just did a simple copy paste above from our register. I've also considered going down the slang/"suggestive" path, but will stick with a PG-version URL. 8)

    Thanks, Cook.

    These domains are available: fasten.nr (not .com) and fas10r.com

    Hi Melone,
    Catchy names as suggested above sounds cool, but how many people do you think would eventually use these catchy, interesting names per se, in their google searches etc, to look for a place that sells fasteners. For me, screwyou, grabournuts, etc would be the last words that I would use for my searches. Interesting names can be a lot easier to remember, and the naming would entirely depend on the customer base you already have with you. If market penetration or customer acquisition is your target than I would suggest you should use suggestive names. But, if its mostly about customer retention, then maybe cool name could do great.

    few names that I'd like to suggest:
    fastenercentral
    fastenerhub
    fastenerBazaar


    Hope this helps a bit,
    Regards
    Rome

    Hi melone,
    Actually I did try to find domain names for fasternercentral, and it directed me to fastenatingdomains... I've no connection to it whatsoever, just trying to help you out.

    Hope this clears the air!
    Regards

    Thanks, Romele. Squatters are always abundant, regardless of industry I guess. 8)

    Thanks so much for everyone's input so far.

    Update: someone completely removed from the fastener and hardware industry suggested these... thoughts?
