I am starting a new host and need a name that is brandable like:

yahoo
skype
twitter
google
blimple

Ect..

What do you think of the word Blimple?

What do you think of when you hear the word Google?

I dunno. IMO, a blimple is something you treat with some benzoyl peroxide.

lol +1 for DJ. As for my 2 cents, not sure. It sounds like a image host to be honest.

LOL! Blimple is pretty catchy, I guess.

I get similar associations.

When you've never heard of it, it may sound weird, just like any other site out there. If you get known, this name will be good.

Seriously: Yahoo!...Bing...twitter?

Certainly catchy however.... all of the names you list above, as stupid as they would have sounded when first spoken, all have an origin or meaning to the companies respective founders... whether that means anything or not... time will tell for blimple. Must mean something that I didn't have to look back to the post to remember the name though

I mostly got blimp and pimple for the feed back aka a really big Pimple. But most people said it was catchy.

Also I was thinking about google it is really a gross word.

Goo and Gle (gurgle?) goo gurgle basically.

Still not sure I will use Blimple but something about seems to be catchy.

Who knows.

I love it lol - Go for it

Regards,

Nick.

Sounds like a Zepellin full of puss

Well, that was gross. Blimple is all yours - I wouldn't touch it.

it sounds cute for blimple sounds like dimple.. cheerful word, isn't it? google, yahoo looks like it is an expression.

The name is certainly unique - if you have significant financial resources, marketing manpower, time, etc. to build a brand around a blimple - go for it.

Succeeding as a startup is difficult; most likely you will attract more clients if you instead choose a name that is recognizably related to the hosting industry.

Do you want to focus on educating prospects about your products and services, or having to explain what a "blimple" is (or isn't)?

Sounds good, you've got a catchy slogan as well
