When it comes to finding the right Domain name for your website, it can be nearly impossible to get a good vacant domain name. Many people often come up with great ideas, however, they are unable to keep a domain name that reflects their website content because of unavailability of domain names. In my experience even friends and family can be of little help in such a case, as thousands of domains are getting registered as we speak. This means that every idea that you can think of, has probably been used already.
If you are looking for a good Domain name that reflects your website content or can help you keep a novel name such as perhaps, “YouTube”, then it might be worth seeking help from a few handy web services given below.
Name Boy
When keeping a domain name one often requires using a combination of words that can either reflect the nature of the website or provide an interesting projection of the website content. Furthermore, some users may even be interested in using a number of combinations for locating vacant domain names, such as adding hyphens. While this can be done via numerous web services, including the ones that sell domains, doing so can be quite tedious and unfruitful. This is because the suggested domain names can often be quite gibberish and difficult. Name Boy is a web service that can resolve this problem to some extent. It allows users to input primary and secondary keywords, along with the choice to enable hyphens and rhymes. Once done, click the “go name boy go” button to get instant domain name suggestions.
PickyDomains
PickyDomains is a crowd sourcing service that allows you to seek help from other users to find interesting domain names. This is a bit unconventional as you do not require relying on bots but rather gain suggestion from other people. The human mind can arguably be more creative than bots due to one primary reason, “we made them”. So if you are looking for some help from others then it might be time to try out this crowd-sourcing service.
StuckDomains
Buying a new domain and establishing it in the World Wide Web can take up quite some time. Furthermore, it is also a laborious task to build up traffic and gain an SEO position for the newly bought domain name. An interesting solution to this problem can be to buy expired domains. StuckDomains is a web service that allows you to identify expired domains that you can now purchase. Using a newly expired domain can help you gain some quick traffic from a website that just went out of business. Furthermore, the domain may also get you some quick SEO leverage and help you establish your website more quickly.
DomainTools
Domain tools can be a good choice for finding a vacant domain name for one major reason, i.e. it is owned the entire Whois database, which provides information about domain owners. You can not only use this web service to locate domain names but also perform reverse lookups and find the contact information of domain owners to contact them for buying their domain names.
Xona
Xona is a domain hacking search engine that allows you to generate interesting domain name combinations. For those of you who may be unaware of this concept, a domain hack is an unconventional domain name that uses certain parts other than the second or third level domain for creating a unique domain name, e.g. blo.gs. Using this service is easy, just enter a word and it will provide you with a result using the domain hack method. This way, you can keep interesting domain names such as “jo.hn”.

I am the Chief Branding Officer of a naming agency, namella.
You touched on it briefly in your review of PickyDomains, but the human mind has no match in terms of creativity. PickyDomains is an incredible service, but many of our clients have come to us after using a crowdsourcing service because of the inherent nature of the service. PickyDomains says their “crowd” has suggested almost 1.3 MILLION names for about 4,000 projects. That’s about 500 suggested names per projects, with many of them making little to no sense (and many of the names suggested are just suggestions of the tools you mentioned in this article). If you’re having trouble, I’d recommend hiring experts. With that said there are plenty of services that will help name your company. Here are the best agencies that offer business naming services:
namella (this is the firm I’m apart of)
FreshBreadCreative
TheNamingCompany
NameSharks
Among many others!
