Important point on monetization. I looked for a domain, found one I liked, and clicked "Buy". You sent me to godaddy, who I don't use. I opened up a new tab and bought it with namecheap. A suggestion: give me a price comparison between multiple registrars, and let me click through to any. That way you get the commission even if I don't use godaddy.

I've found on my site (a different, but similar one) that it is hard to get paid for referring domain name buying traffic. Only a few of the registrars is reliable, and with Godaddy you get the large majority of the traffic.

NameCheap, for example, doesn't have an affiliate program (last time I looked).

Wordoid.com is a webapp that helps you come up with a catchy name for your product, company or domain. It makes up new words that are unlikely to appear in a dictionary. It knows how to create words in several languages: English, Spanish, French and Italian at the moment. It is even able to create words in imaginary "languages", constructed by blending two or more real languages together. I would appreciate your feed…

I like it.

It would be good if you could filter out already taken names.

The interface is weird. The form fields are on the right and the submit button is at the top left, so you have to move your mouse across the screen for each query.

Yes - people do not read the right bar downwards and then go back to the top to 'Go' - it is a strange workflow.

Move the right column to the left I think.
