Is chatphile a good domain name for a chat site?

I'm starting a chat site with a coworker and we wanted to make a simple chat site.

We registered for chatphile.com, and was wondering if the name suits the service.

phile (for those who don't know) is "to like something".

Any thoughts?

 

Is phile spanish? Sounds like it.

 

I don't know the original history of the word.

^ for what phile is.

It's like a pedophile, videophile, etc.

 

I don't know, i never really knew what a phile was until now, but you don't necessarily have to go with a word that has a meaning at all. When looked up at webster it appears that phile is a variation of phil. Originally it sounded spanish to me, which I thought might turn people away from the site, but I was mistaken. Its a short name, so you have that going for you.

 

I wanted to start a bicycle site once but pedophile.com was already taken.

 

I dont like the sound of phile, I think it sounds negative due to its other (more sick) meanings and uses.

Instead, why not try chattr, chatsee, chatteroo, chattermoz, chatchat, chitchat, chatit, idlechat e.t.c

 

Sounds too much like pedaphile : ( /

 

It sounds a bit negative.

Maybe people will think it's a chatroom where paedophiles can lure their victims.

 

I'd have to agree it sounds too much like pedophile and for me it would instantly have a negative leaning toward the site. I would change the name.

I own chirpbox.com and chirpbox.net . . .I'm not really willing to sell them but if offered the right price I might bite.

Anyway those are just my 2 cents.
