I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.

Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Hi, my name is Daniel Walter Scott,  and I'm a trainer here at Bring Your Own Laptop. In this video we're gonna look at how  to use a domain name suggestion tool. Now, domain name suggestion tools are used for people  who are, um, maybe you've got some ideas about domain names,  but you need some help picking one. Um, or it's the domain name you really want is gone  and you've gotta come up with an alternative. Okay? Both of those uses are great for these sites.

Now these are the two that I end up using. It's called name mesh.com,  and the other one's called pany.com. Now, either one is good, they both come up  with a different results, so you might try both of them. I'm gonna type in Green Space Gardener, okay? They want you to put in spaces  between your kind of key words. You can see it says Work best with two to three words.

Okay? Given those two words separated,  now you'll see the red ones are the  ones that are already gone. They can be good to have around just  to give you ideas about other things. But you can hide the ones that are already registered  and you'll notice that I can scroll down. Okay? And this thing here, it keeps loading more  as I scroll down, it eventually runs out,  but okay, you've got a lot of time to go through  and consider whether chunky gardener, um, mince gardener,  and egg gardener are useful for you.

Okay? There's lots of rubbish in here,  but there's actually some nice stuff to get the kind  of creative juices flowing. Now, pan B works a similar sort of way. I like these guys. They have quite a nice little initial search. Little heartbreaks means they're gone  and they do some nice things at the top here to go  through about things like dropping the first letter  and spelling it backwards.

Things that you might not consider by yourself, um,  but also some really useful ones as well. Gardener with just the R  Green Garden Arrow, that's my favorite. Another nice part  of this site is right down the bottom here. There is related terms. So green and Gardener have been split up,  and there are some related terms. So do you will naive gardener work or sick gardener work?

Not for my one, but some of these things can be helpful  for you when you're picking domain names. Now, both of these sites, both pany  and name mesh, both link back to GoDaddy. When you try and register, you can go through and change. You don't have to use GoDaddy,  but both of these guys link through  and they'll get a commission on. If you click the links, you won't get charged anymore. So if you've liked their service, definitely go through,  click the link and then register your domain name.

And that's it for domain name, suggestion tools. If you've got a really good one that you use,  please drop it into the comments and share it with the gang. All right, see you later.
