MenuWhich name best suites a platform in which users can seek advice from experts on a variety of life problems?
Answers
Yes. Hopefully you already own these domain names before publishing them like this but here's my 2 cents:
Crowdsage.com is pretty solid out of those options. All things being equal a .com is going to give you the edge in terms of credibility and many would argue SEO.
it does give you some minor problems that as a stand alone domain it's not clear whether you mean crowds age or "crowd sage" but it's not a bad name.
A brand is what you make it. A great name doesn't guarantee success by any measure but it can help you create a stickier brand and make you easier to find.
I've developed a process for coming up with names that works pretty well. It's a multi-step brainstorming process and it takes time but I would be happy to share it with you or even brainstorm together over Clarity.
Good luck with this.

First of all, never publish a list of names you're considering unless you already own them as domains. Frequently, somebody will learn about your intentions, then go register your target domains in order to sell them back to you for much steeper prices.
That's unethical, in my view; but it happens. Sometimes company employees or contractors (e.g. web designers) do this. So I'd be cautious even with internal communications. But definitely avoid public statements.
That said, I'm not recommending that people go out and buy each & every name candidate in advance. Obviously that would be wasteful.
It's clever embedding the "why" pun within "wise" in Whyse.Life. However, while it functions alright visually, it fails when the name is heard. Far too many ambiguities, between the creative misspelling and the novelty suffix.
CrowdSage.com is the clearest name in the list. No ambiguities or extra details to remember. The others aren't good enough for you. Whether CrowdSage.com is a good choice or not, I can't say without further research.
Also agree with Joseph regarding the risks of sharing names that you don't already own. For me, I'd say wisechat.co is the best. Why? It's two dictionary words, there's no ambiguity when saying it out loud, .co has become as respected as .com. The reason I'm not for crowdsage.com is that 'sage' is not a word used commonly so you could still have to explain it - and you never want to have to explain or spell your domain/email/company name. Same applies to the first two, and wisespace.me is phonetically poor with two 's'. That's IMHO anyway. Happy to discuss in detail over a call. Good luck!
There are two types of name you can choose. First is branded name, these names doesn't make sense but when we say it's like awesome, like instagram, oyo.
Second is all about when a people pronounce it, listener will surely understand what type of company or venture it is example twitter, Gmail.

If there are no quality .com available domains suited for my travel startup, is it too bad to use a .org or .travel gtld?
That one question entails several separate answers. .TRAVEL is little used and practically unknown to the general public, even though it has been around for 7 or 8 years. Partly that's because the .TRAVEL registry mandates a special application process that confines use of the extension to particular kinds of entities. Have you ever visited a .TRAVEL website? Most people have never seen one. And so, with negligible public adoption of .TRAVEL, you'd find yourself almost entirely alone explaining your name / web address over and over again. Names that require long explanations are cumbersome and forgettable. There's an added burden with vanity extensions such as .TRAVEL. Suppose you name your company or website "Exotic Travel". If you use Exotic.Travel because ExoticTravel.com is too expensive or else in use already, then you will either face a competitor who uses ExoticTravel.com or else you will need to purchase and maintain both domains. Owning a vanity extension without a matching .COM is almost always a bad idea. Some major websites have learned that the hard way -- often paying 5 or 6 figures to acquire the .COM domain they hoped to circumvent. I'm not a .COM purist. In fact, I'm fond of some domains in vanity extensions. But they should be used as a pair with the .COM most of the time. .ORG can be ideal for certain kinds of projects. But it's impossible for me to give an answer without knowing the name in question. If .ORG is part of the brand identity -- meaning that you're proud to display the .ORG -- then it can work. Nonprofits are especially well suited to .ORG for this reason, as are some other websites. However, if using the .ORG is merely a cheap knockoff of your first-choice domain, then people will perceive it rightly as just a cheap knockoff. We'd have to discuss the name specifically for me to give any meaningful feedback, though. Of course, you began by saying "there are no quality .COMs available". Frankly, that's probably not true. Availability comes in all shapes and sizes. It's certainly the case that most of the good .COM domains already belong to somebody. After all, the internet has been around for a few decades. Just as with the North American continent, every vacant lot has an owner by now. But many good .COMs, though owned, are nevertheless not in use -- and therefore available, depending on your budget. It's dangerous to settle for the first .COM you find that's available for $10. Almost by definition, those are precisely the domains that have interested nobody alive at all for 20+ years. However, I've been exploring the name space every single day full time for some years now -- often for myself but frequently for clients. And a small percentage of good domains do remain available. However, it takes experience to find them and tell the difference between fool's gold and the genuine article. With my last naming client, I'd say that less than 1% of my name ideas were unregistered. That's a long answer. Since it's now 1:17 a.m., I'd better cut things off at this point!JP

How important is it to have a .com domain when starting up a business?
It's far less important than it used to be, because so many social media businesses are much more reliant on their apps than their desktop websites these days. Instagram launched (and grew fast) with the domain instagr.am, for instance.CM

If someone misspells my company when Googling, how do I make sure they find my site? Anything besides buying domain names of the misspelled versions?
Google Search is already smart enough to capture those misspellings and shows recommendations for the correct words. Assuming that your website has been around for a while, Google will show users the branded site first in the results pages so the clicks will go there. Google figures out possible misspellings and their likely correct spellings by using words it finds while searching the web and processing searchers queries. So, unlike many spelling correctors, Google can suggest common spellings for proper nouns (names and places), and words that may not appear in a dictionary. I usually use misspellings in my clients Paid Search campaigns to capture all the possible traffic when I see that there's a high number of searches for those variations. I advise against buying domain names for the purpose of capturing that traffic. It will help, though, for people entering the exact domain name directly into the browser. And if you do so, make sure that they all redirect via a permanent 301 redirect to the original one, but do not use them for tricky SEO purposes.WA

What name should I give to my product? (rebranding)
I like the name "Melissa" — but I wouldn't use a website URL like www.melissahome.com because it just doesn't feel "natural" — I would choose something that implies what Melissa means to us... For example: "Ask Melissa" or something like that. Good luck!KG

What should I name my marketing services agency?
There are 3 schools of thought about what to call a marketing agency. The first says be practical and call it something that relates to the product that you are selling. Good examples of this include "Ideo" and "Whatif!?" in the innovation space and "mindshare" in the media space. The second is call it something more iconoclastic, abstract and creative like "Elephants can't jump" or "Lucky Generals". the third days call it after a name, whether yours or someone else's. This leads to "Ogilvy & Mather" or "Saatchi and Saatchi". There is no right or wrong way. You need to choose a name that you and your partners can get behind and that will work over a long period of time and as your agency evolves and morphs what it does. The only key point to remember is that a) you should be able to tell a story off it - after all this is what creative people are supposed to do - and b) it is memorableCR
