Are you just thinking of names? Or do you do something like making a list of
words related to your startup, and then combining them to see what works (and
isn't taken)?

~~~
tyohn
I start with names related to the concept but it always seems to morph into
names that aren't related. I end up pulling words out of my brain and then
break them apart and put them together in different forms. I also use a
thesaurus to find other meanings for words...

I don't really see how GitHub receiving a staggering 1 DMCA notice a month
from Sony is newsworthy... the interesting number isn't that 50% (aka "6")
notices were sent this year by Sony, it's that GitHub's only gotten 12 all
year.

Other than not deliberately cultivate an environment for illegal file sharing,
what has GitHub done to insulate themselves from the piracy & file sharing
community so effectively? It seems like it'd be a great place to dump illegal
music/videos/app/game/etc downloads, and accounts are easy to make.

yeah, 12 is not that statistically significant. If they had >30, than maybe.
