Earlier quoted context omitted.

I work for one, and would also not recommend it, unless you like saying the word "hyphen" a lot.

“dash” is not any longer than “dot” which we already use all the time.

"Dash" sounds very similar to "slash".

Yeah, I used to speculate in domain names, and the ones that are coming up remind me of the crap ones I used to register before I knew what I was doing. Every once in a while you come up with unused ones that really stick out (like I remember there was "atomictangerine.com"), but otherwise I would recommend trying something more recognizable in a different tld (like "helloworld.blue" or something—there are a lot these days). My 2c.

Party game idea: Pitch products based on the domain names generated by this site.

Variation: play it with domains names that are actually in use and you'll get two games for the price of one!

Game #1: like you said

Game #2: pick three answers from Game #1, combine with the actual product under the given domain name, and have players guess which one is the correct one.

Obviously, you'd need two different groups of players.
