Now that Christmas is over and I have been a SAHM for a couple of months, I figured I should start my efforts to keep my technical knowledge up. Pamela has been helpful with that in allowing me to help with a project for her.
My plans include creating a web site to help people organize swaps. Swaps are a lot of fun to participate in, but a lot of work for folks to organize (not too mention the trouble with filling up pm boxes). The idea is to make organizing swap easier and more fun and to offer this service for free. I am hoping to develop my site and then test it out here. :) First, I need a domain name.

This is where you come in. :brow

I had originally thought of www.swapshoppe.com, but that sounded too much like a store, so I came up with a couple of other ideas:
www.onlineswap.com
www.swapcenter.com
I am not too sold on any of them, and was hoping for help. Unfortunately, some ideas I liked, such as: www.swap.com, www.swapmeet.com, etc, are already taken. :getu

Please help!!! :fingersx:

ok, silly name, I think, but "swam-o-rama" popped into my head, and then the next thing I thought was "swap-a-mama", so either of those, LOL!

swap-a-mama

That makes me think of my dd sitting at the puter, joining a swap where she can swap her momma for another one! lol!

I was looking up names in the domain name registry and most of our ideas were taken. :(

Some ideas that are available:
www.swapshare.net
www.swapcentral.net
www.goswap.net
www.swaphere.com
www.swapathome.com
www.swaphappy.com

And I had a brainstorm and came up with a neat name that is also a play on my last name. :D www.swappez.com Get it? Swappe EZ and Swap Pez :) Unfortunately, www.swapez.com is already taken. The .net is available, but my dh recommends against taking that name, since they call themselves Swap EZ and he thinks they are an Ebay ripoff. The pages come up in a search, but clicking on the link gets a page not available error. So it would be www.swappez.com.
What do you guys think? :chin

lol I stopped being able to read the names after a while - too much repetition of the same letters but my favourite would be www.wahmswap.com from all of the above. I think it keeps up with the common theme of all the wahm sites etc.

Not feeling very creative tonight but what about www.topswaps.com, www.swaptilyoudrop.com, think that's it for now :)

:LOL I was looking up "organize" in the thesaurus and can't remember the word, but one of the words made me think "swapinator". LMAO I so need sleep. www.setupswap.com
www.swaphelp.com
I think you should have it be something that says you help set them up, not run them all yourself... Unless I misunderstood your original post.

Good suggestions! I like swaptilyoudrop and definitely am *not* interested in running everyone's swap!!! :yikes You are right, I just want to help folks organize. :)

Right now I'm leaning toward swaphappy.com.

Can anyone think of possible bad associations for that name? Or will I be relatively safe?

As long as some perv doesn't think it is for swapping spouses!
