What's in a name?

[Radikalizm]

Ok, so I need some help on a nagging issue
I've been thinking about setting up a personal website where I can showcase my running projects and where I can vent my ideas/frustrations/whatever for a while now, and have started to look around for some good hosting plans
The issue however is that I don't know what to name my site; I was thinking of using my name, but since I have a name which is rather unpronounceable (and therefore hard to remember) by anyone who doesn't speak dutch that will be kind of difficult
Using my forum username is not an all too great option either, since I'm known by many different names on different fora

So, any suggestions on what to name my site?

Lol ... finding good names is never easy . I remember how I got to the name of my "Game Company", dustbin::games: I play in a rock band, and when we started we called it "dustbin". After a while the singer and the drummer wanted to change the name so we did that, but I did already register the "dustbin-online.de" domain, which lay unused for some time until I got the idea to split my web presence into "serious" stuff and "gaming stuff", i.e. I do now have to check two domains, "dustbin-online.de" and "bulletbyte.de".


I guess this doesn't really help you, but without any further input it's hard to do so.

You could use your real name if it's interesting looking, people might actually remember that. Well, at least I would

Maybe I could expand on the idea of using Rain- as a prefix, like in my engine, this would have some sort of a meaning to me and should be relatively simple to remember

I don't exactly find it interesting looking myself, but I'll consider your input though

Another idea: what I really like is to modify words by changing a few letters so that a new word is created, sometimes even with a meaning. Therapy?, one of my favorite band, pointed me to this. They have songs like "Screamager" and "Brainsaw" on their "Troublegum" album. Maybe you can find something in that direction.

or you can create a name by taking some letters from your first name and some from your surename...
I did so: A is the 1st letter of my first name and Bu are the 1st two letters of my surename, so I called my site ABuSoft
