I even tried my nickname concatenated with another word (another word which can describe the site). Heck, even that domain name is taken. I checked http://domai.nr some good names, but I cannot use fancy domains like del.icio.us since the site also offers urls for a few webpages(precisely subdomain)s, so henry.my.si.te wouldn't look good. Coz it's not something all Henrys can remember.

'Action words' That rings a bell.

The names 23andMe, 43things, 37signals all sounded weird at first and a while after they began to sound cool to me.

Well, now I'm thinking of some good number to prefix to the name I want. :)

Any good two digit number please?

Well, the pattern there is that they're all prime, so I would suggest MersenneNo46.

You need to find a person who does math with synesthesia and ask them what numbers look good next to your website.
