How to choose a domain name

granttree is a pretty bad name IMHO. I doubt non-native english speakers can understand it. Probably wouldn't pass the phone test. Biggest problem is the double T (and you don't own grantree.co.uk to catch that).

We do own grantree.co.uk, and so long as you enunciate properly (grANT-Tree) people can hear it fine, in our experience. The key is to emphasize the ANT and separate it from the next T. Otherwise people sometimes hear Grunt-ree or something.

Doesn't this confusion alone make it a bad name?

It's worth the positive associations of the name, imho. Everyone "gets" GrantTree and likes it.
