Curious domain names

Enjoy a list of unusual domain names! Perhaps it will be useful when choosing your domain or give you just a few minutes of good cheer.

After all, sometimes sites do not get the interest they thought of.

Sometimes websites get the wrong kind of interest. This happens because suddenly, unforeseen semantic associations appear when reading the domain name

And here's the proof.

1) choosespain.com

Choose Spain is a company that organizes trips to Spain. But the domain name can be read differently: Choose Spain or Chooses Pain.

2) viagrafix.com

Via Grafix is a software company. Their website existed quietly until the famous pills appeared. With the proliferation of Viagra, the company changed not only its online address but also its brand name to avoid unwanted associations.

ViaGrafix now calls itself Learn2.

3) webone.com

Web One is a New Zealand IT company. The domain can also be read as We Bone.

4) skorpom.ru

This address used to be the site of the Moscow ambulance station, and now it's reviews of doctors in Russia. But in any case, this domain name sounds alarming and does not add optimism (in Russian, the name can be read as “soon to die”).

5) wintersexpress.com

The Winters Express newspaper is published in the quiet town of Winters (California, USA). As you can see, the website domain looks more like the name of an adult website — WinterSexPress.com

6) penisland.net

15.Curious domain names

Pen Island Pens, a company that sells pens and other stationery, has purchased a domain with the racy name penisland.net for its website.

7) teacherstalk.co.uk

Teachers Talk is a resource for UK teachers with pedagogy courses.

But if you pause in the wrong place when reading the domain, the name can be read as Teacher Stalk.

8) oh.no

20.Curious domain names

Osnes Hyttepark is a Norwegian resort. The company owners quite logically put the city's initials in the name of the web address.

However, since “.no” is the code for Norway on the Internet, the domain name generally does not give the right impression of the resort.

9) butthatsnotall.co.nz

But That's Not All is a New Zealand television store. The company's domain can also be read another way: Butt Hats Not All. Ironically, both versions emphasize the wide range of products in the store.

10) therapist.com

25.Curious domain names

When the owners of "therapist.com" chose the domain, obviously they did not suspect that mankind has a remarkable talent for seeing the strange in the ordinary. Well, therapists, well, helping people is a useful thing, who would ever think of looking for a trick in it? But the Internet community, as usual, did not fail: it is enough to add a space to make a good-natured therapist a terrifying “the rapist” - a criminal. 

Now it is not only a site where you can find your psychologist, but also a reason for a good laugh. And laughter, as we know, also cures!

When choosing a domain name, don't forget: the way you name the ship is one way she will sail.

As you can see, sometimes an unsuccessfully chosen domain name can not so much help to promote your business and brand recognition, but rather harm it. Before you register a domain for your project, try to keep in mind all the details - and ease of remembering for customers, reading options, and geo-location of the company. Exclude unforeseen risks at the very start.
