Naming your Dating Site

The first thing you should remember in naming your own dating site is that the name should reflect what you want the website to be about. If you cater to young professionals, then your company name should appeal to young professionals. If you cater to a slightly older audience, or focus on adult dating, the web site name should reflect that fact. Make sure that the name does not communicate anything negative, racial, nor play into stereotypes. Try giving it a romantic twist, or an adventurous twist. Remember though that whatever name you come up with, chances are that others have already thought of it, too, so make several backup names.

Once you've decided on the name, you need to check if the domain name has been taken. It's best if you get the actual name as your domain name, but again, chances are someone has already snatched that up (yes your domain name can be different from the website name but it's best avoided). There are several options you can take when that happens. First try hyphenation, but dont go over one hyphen or else people will have a hard time typing it out and we don't want that. If the .com version is taken, you can try ".net" or ".org".

Another thing to remember is to not rush the process. Don't worry if it's taking time to name your site. You don't just want to put on the first name that you think about just because the domain name is available. Give yourself a timeline, say one week, for you to finalize the name. Ask your friends, family members and loved ones to pitch in. If you have staff, ask them for suggestions. Require that everyone come up with at least three names, make it a team effort, and make it fun. You can even offer a reward for the one to come up with the winning name.
