Mine is called PlanitWide (<a href="http://www.planitwide.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.planitwide.com</a>) - a travel focused startup.<p>The first thing my co-founder & I agreed on is that we wanted to avoid having "trip", "travel" or anything that was a variant of those two words in the name.<p>The reason for that is that there's a really long list of travel startups that have those 2 words in their name and we felt we'd risk getting lost among them if did too.<p>However we absolutely wanted a name that had some correlation with travel & specifically our solution - which explicitly meant not having a nonsensical/unrelated name.<p>Secondly, the vision for our solution is for it to be a one-stop shop for any kind of travel, for any kind of person i.e - PlanitWide would be the starting and end point for planning any kind of trip in the world.<p>So we wanted the name to embody:<p>a) the holistic nature of this vision in terms of planning trips and<p>b) it's global nature in terms of destinations and who could use it<p>From there on it was playing around and coming up with (what we thought) were interesting plays on words and phrases that met all of these criteria<p>One of those words was Planetwide. On a whim we substituted the first "e" with an "i" and serendipitously stumbled onto a name that we thought was perfect. We tested it out with people we knew and unanimously got a great response.<p>Of course the domain name was also available for cheap which just sealed the deal.
What do you think of "Glasskan".<p>I made it up by watching the most used brand names, that have become a generic term.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_and_genericized_trademarks" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_and_genericized...</a>
