Name! This! Site!

August 22, 2023 2:56 PM

You know how sometimes you see someone say something online that is so wrongheaded, you really wish you had the initiative to bookmark/screenshot and check in on them later to let them know how wrong they turned out to be? I want to build a website to facilitate that kind of petty, told-you-so receipt keeping. What should I call it?

Caveats:

• The site name has to be the domain name. HAS TO. This means it needs to be something available for me to register.
• I want to avoid using anything that is or might read as an ableist slur. As such, the first idea that popped into my head: wrongstupidwrong.com is out.
• As a personal preference, I'm not a fan of .org/.net/other alternative TL domains. I'm okay with ones that wrap the non .com aspect into the name (remember del.ico.us?) but I don't like it when it's [something].org because I feel like people will just type [something].com anyway.
• I'd pay more than the minimum for a good domain name, but not more than $100-ish.

So far, I've come up with wrong.gg ... which feels underwhelming, though maybe it could grow on me.

What've you got?

something ending in "b.ad"
I think the following would all work:
erroneo.us
defecti.ve
right.no (right? no!)

If you have any specific domain or type of wrongness in mind, you could try a sarcastic name. The example that sprung to mind for me is https://web3isgoinggreat.com/.

Both wrong.com and wrong.is have whois entries but no DNS records at present, try following those up at namecheap?

Response by poster: Here's a fun permutation... apparently a person can register Norway domains at .no.

Here are some ideas:
-uhuh.no
-uhhuh.no
-suresure.no
-wrong.no

Somebody already owns yeah.no but it doesn't look like they're doing much with it.

Response by poster: Dang, thwarted. Must have a Norwegian address.

Would an Estonian one help? If not with Norway, perhaps it could at least get you phoo.ee?

bullsh.it is looking a bit vestigial these days but the present owner would probably not part with it cheaply.

it looks like grudge.holdings is available for $69

nice
