Let me start this post by saying I am not suggesting people go out there and register 1000 domains like this - merely trying to show a few ways you can find a meaningless pronounceable domain for regfee. Why might you want a domain like this? If it’s meaningless, it should be pretty easy to trademark, incorporate as a business, or build into any type of site as you want. As one example I gave in the past, premium .coms are great for many reasons, but a name like Girl.com is never going to fly with male customers, no matter how good your prices are. That meaninglessness also means if your first domain development project is unsuccessful, you can always restart with a completely new development idea on the same domain. Here are a couple sites to help come up with short, brandable domains — think of these as the poor man’s CVCV:

• MakeWords.com
• Domain Name Soup

There are some sites which do a really great job of doing this with keyword domains as well, such as:

• NameCombo.com
• DomainsBot.com
• Bust A Name

If you have a general idea of what you’re looking for, you might find a site like DomainTyper useful, it having instant availability results. You can of course find expired/expiring pronounceable domains using the various drop venues and sites such as Freshdrop.net or Stuck Domains.  Joel over at Domain Superstar has a very impressive set of domain tools worth mentioning as well, with a brandable domain finder coming soon. Lastly, there are sites such as Picky Domains which offer services to help you find the right name at prices still most likely lower than you’re going to find on the aftermarket, aside from wholesale threads on domain forums. This is by no means an exhaustive list, however I think it’s long enough to help get the job of finding a brandable domain done.
