What’s in a (domain) name?

I initially chose ottawadevelopers.wordpress.com as the temporary website for the WordPress Developers Group of Ottawa (WDGO) for a few reasons:

• It had all of the important keywords for this community-driven project
• I had never used wordpress.com site and wanted to see how it compared to wp.org based version
• I couldn’t come up with a great domain name but wanted to start with something

I now have had experience with wp.com and have confirmed my suspicions – it does not make sense to use for this situation. While I do not fault Automattic for their business model, it is laughable to think that a developer group, well-versed in the art of wp.org based installations, would pay $14.97 / month for customized css access or $29.97 for unlimited user access to the blog.

Which leaves us with the third bullet point – what domain name makes sense to use for this group? I’ve scouted a few oriented around wdgo, but as expected most 4-letter acronymns were taken up long ago in the web land grab. So the poll for this week is to solicit suggested domain names. I can provide hosting for the site if you happen to feel like taking a $10 dollar flyer on registering a good potential site name.
