Descriptive Domain or Brandable (somewhat) Domain? - Need your opinions

    I'm hoping this is the right spot for this thread... it's a domain question so what the heck...

    I'm getting ready to start work on a new website, a personal project for fellow webmasters. I'm not planning on making it into a huge commercial website so I'm not overly concerned about having "mass appeal" with design or name... but that doesn't mean I want it to be crap. I'm leaning towards the fun name but I'm not going to write off the generic name just yet.

    I have two domain names that I'm considering:

    1. WebInfoZone.com
    2. LatexChicken.com

    My dilema is this: To go with the nice descriptive name that has universal appeal, or the LatexChicken?

    I'm trying to figure out the brandability of each and the appeal to webmasters... is Number 2 interesting enough to actually get remembered? I'm just afraid that Number 1 is too generic.

    Thanks for any advice.
    Pete.

    Go with number 2! I would remember that one and it's funny.

    Although I think LatexChicken.com is a funny name, it doesn't sound like a name you would want to use for your project. Personally, I'd go with WebInfoZone.com.

    LatexChicken every time for me! Easier to remember, easy to spell, brandable - gets my vote every single time. Damn funny too!
