Ask HN: Startup naming as a service

I've recently started working on a carpooling for events webapp (https://poolwith.me) and do not feel very satisfied with the name. I went through many names but none sound better. I was wondering if there's a startup naming service that I can use. Most of the ones I found simply combine multiple words to generate a new.

P.S. Feel free to suggest a name!

It's a good name. Don't sweat it.

Alternatively grab a German dictionary.

Unless you specifically want to include "carpool" as a keyword, I'd say the name you have seems as good as any...

Poolwith me sounds pretty good. Personally, I think 'ridewith.me' rolls off the tongue slightly better. Nonetheless good luck.

I like the name you already have. You should keep it.
