I was looking over the other topics about making your site name work and I started to wonder if the name that I want for my future comic is a good idea. It is sorta long winded but is the exact name of the comic and isnt all that confuseable I think. will work?

— short answer: unique, curiosity-raising names can work, but run a few quick, practical checks before you commit. and are right that distinctiveness helps; the follow-up question is whether people can reliably hear, spell, type, and share that exact name.

Do these tests before registering or promoting the site:

  • Say the name out loud to 5–10 people and ask them to spell it from memory. If more than one person gets it wrong, simplify.
  • Try the “three-second recall” test: tell someone the name once, then ask them to write it down after a short distraction.
  • Type it on several phones and keyboards to catch likely typos and auto-capitalization issues.
  • Search for close matches on the web and for existing trademarks to avoid confusion or legal trouble (USPTO trademark search).
  • Check social-handle availability and consider reserving a short alias for sharing (Namechk).
    For naming best practices and tradeoffs (memorability vs. descriptiveness), see practical guides such as those from domain and SEO experts ( and Moz on domains).

If you keep the longer title, buy common variations and redirect them to a single canonical URL, register matching social handles, and use a short branded link for sharing. For SEO, focus on clear site structure and page titles rather than relying on the domain alone (Google SEO Starter Guide). These steps preserve the creative name that attracted and while reducing the usability and legal risks you worried about.

I am really picky about domain names ... especially long-winded ones, but I sorta like it :) It stirs curiosity, which I like. It isn't something like webcomic.com :)
