Could I get input on the following domain names I have come up with? :) As you can tell I'm in the cosmetic and skin care industry. And of course "Pink" is known for our product line. I want something catchy, people will remember and not too long. :cool: It will be a site to get more product information with a link to my company's site. Also skin care and beauty tips, product specials and contact info.

Is it not a good idea to use numbers in a domain name?

Thanks in advance for your help! :lol: Leslie

Thread starter supplied a useful starting list and the right brief: a short, memorable name that ties into cosmetics and skin care. The real choice is between a descriptive name (instant clarity) and a coined brand (unique, easier to own). Short, pronounceable names win for word‑of‑mouth, phone use and packaging.

A practical checklist to narrow choices: pick three finalists, then run the “say it aloud” and “phone” tests (someone should be able to spell it after hearing it once). Check domain history (WHOIS and the Internet Archive) to avoid inheriting spammy baggage. Do a trademark search (USPTO/TESS is the usual starting point; cosmetics often fall under Class 3) and look for conflicting business names. Verify common social handles and exact spelling across major platforms. Test the name in plain text and in a simple logo to spot awkward letter pairings.

A few naming notes that weren’t fully covered earlier: numerals and hyphens add friction when a name is spoken or typed; they’re fine if they’re core to an intentional brand, but avoid them as a quick fix. Unusual spellings can be memorable but also create lost traffic and support calls. If the word “Pink” is central to the line, a clearance check is prudent because widely used words can still conflict when combined with cosmetics services or products.

Once a name clears checks, register the primary .com with a reputable registrar, enable WHOIS privacy, set auto‑renew and domain lock, and create a simple landing page that states the brand and links to the company site. Securing the closest misspellings and major social handles is helpful but prioritize clarity and legal availability over owning dozens of variants. The community preference for short, easy‑to‑spell names (as noted by , , @Mr.'BackUp and others) is aligned with these practical steps.

soft-skin.com would be a good one to have, you could always purchase as many dot coms as you want and build a page for each one do submissions and rederict them all to your main dot com.

I would go with skincaregirl.com because it's easy to remember, relatively short, descriptive and it seems easy to brand.

Seems like you could do a lot of things with that name.

skincaregirl is a good one...

I think skincaregirl is best, easy to remember - quite catchy too...

I would not go with words like Beauty or Beaute - as they are... A. easily confused between both spellings and B. also lots of people are not that good at spelling (& typing in) the "eau" spelling part of these words.

Numbers I don't think are great - as you may end up having a neigbour setting up next door! - eg you go *101, someone else goes *100 or *102 or *1001 etc, ..... headache follows!

Good luck

Cheers

i'd avoid anything that changes spelling such as beauty to beaute... you're only asking for trouble. good luck!

I wouldn't be too concerened if I didn't find a "keyword rich" domain name. Just think of something "short in lenght" , "easy-to-remember/recall" and "easy-to-type-in" . It doesn't even have to be related to the cosmetic industry.

I would suggest - it uses cosmetics, it uses care, and forms one easily brandable word.
