    Grab an atlas (or use maps.google.com) and look for weird town names in the US, Australia etc...

    yeah I tried the map suggestion and was way ahead of you. I'm trying different things and looking at different names. I will probably be 10 characters long, oh well.

    yeah... don't expect to get a 5 letter name... its most likely not going to happen.. you can check a few auctions and maybe get a pretty good one for somewhere in the $xx.. It'll probably be more cost effective to get a longer more memorable name.. Also, make sure you research that market before you put much into it... you'll be entering a market with high barriers to entry. A lot of competition in this market might cause you to struggle and cost you significantly. You're going to need a nice website and a simple to use and impliment environment... and you'll need some nice PR (Public Relations).. otherwise you're not going to find trust customers in your market.. ...also, customer service better be awesome otherwise you'll se everyone migrating right away.. the big domain name companies will sell you the domain name resellers packets b/c they know that the barriers to entry are so fierce that most will enter the market and fail or fail to succeed substantially. If you have a nice niche though, go for it!
