How do you find a name for your projects?
Naming is always a pain (even while coding). How do you proceed when you have a new product but can't find the right name? I've used Namelix but that doesn't really help… For most of my previous projects, I spent literally several weeks on this.
What're your tips to get a good name?

I love that UI as well!
Great post Xavier! I agree naming can be challenging, but I actually enjoy it and even started a side project to help (Product Names). Lots of options exist for brainstorming a good name: Expired domain lists, Namelix and sites like it, Scrolling thru Product Hunt for inspiration, etc. Aim for a name that is short, simple and easy to remember. Avoid double meanings and anything negative. Names taken in multiple extensions .COM, .CO and .IO tends to be a good indicator of decency. Additionally, consider your audience, meaning that you may be ok without the .COM if your audience is tech savvy. However, always look out for the .COM and grab it if it comes available. Hope this helps! Added some resources below...
Expired domain lists: https://www.expireddomains.net
Great for price comparing registrars: https://www.domcomp.com
Decent bulk lookup: https://www.name.com/names
Scroll thru these for inspiration: https://www.squadhelp.com, https://www.brandbucket.com, https://brandpa.com
I didnot know your project, that's great! I found a name that would have fit perfectly to STW!
I'll check all these links, Thanks!
(expired domains is a super good idea!!)
