Keywords to bear in mind when thinking of a name are: "entertainment", "interactive", "sharing", "content", "photo", "personalised", "mature", "pages", "profile" and "flaunt".

Names should be short, simple and easy to spellAvoid using words that are difficult to spell. Remember - users from all over the world need to be able to spell and remember the address. Shorter names are also better. Example of good names are "Yahoo", "MySpace", "Facebook", "Bravo".

Made-up or nonsense names are also an optionWebsite with short names that don't really mean anything can also be options if they are catchy, like "Hulu", "Jango" and "Zynga" .
