I need help to decided on a name for my Lemmy instance

Hey folks, the title says it all... I am on the brink to open my own Lemmy instance and I'm looking for a name. I already own the following unused domains:

-lemmy.pw -voom.social -zeebo.social

Maybe you can even suggest a completely different name? The instance will be a general one.

Thanks!

Lemme.think

Sadly I just checked and beans.social is taken so I'm all out of timeless name ideas.

Lemmy.pw is short and recognizable. That would be my pick.
- That sounds like the best, I'll stick with it. Thank you!

While looking at various TLDs, these kinda' wrote themselves... for better or worse:-)
lemmy.tell.the.world
lemmy.is.life
your.lemmy.host
lemmy.is.fun : I do like this one...
- Yeah I don't think this is feasible.
  You'd have to own is.world, is.fun, is.life, the.world
  Those domain names are almost certainly already taken, and the owners will probably charge quite a lot to buy it

I hear “crack.pipe” as a great name according to some self hosted users. /s

How do you search to see what's available? I assume anti.social is not available.
- I usually use namecheap because they have a mode that just queries a bunch of tld's
- that would be something you do when registering a domain. you enter what you want and the thing tells you whether it's available -- or you can use one of the domain checker sites that do the same thing, or run a DNS query yourself and see if it resolves with NXDOMAIN (although that might be wrong, i'm not completely up to date on the details of this one)

lemmie.org
lemmie.io
lemmy.kiwi
lemmy.lat
those are the ones that i could find
edit: or lemonparty.live for shits and giggles
- Why are you like this?

seafootball wouldn't be a bad name
- @AlecSadler @seafootball Or seasoccer depending on what side if the pond you are from 🤣

zombo.social because I just learned about zombo.com

@seafootball Was it hard to get it up and running?
Also, pewpew-lemmy.pw sounds fun to me =P
- I recently setup one up and it wasn’t difficult.
  Biggest issue for me was user error where I didn’t think about needing an smtp service to send emails. So just got a free one that allows 300/day
  
  Where are you hosting it and what’s the cost? I’d spin one up if it wasn’t too expensive.

I like the names seent.it or seent.online. I probably would have picked one of those if I hadn't decided on sedd.it for my instance.
- Oh that’s yours? I was just on the map site to try and find an instance near me and liked your name so I tried to sign up and your signup form says I need to know you.
  And now I’m sad.
  
  I will probably open it up once I get it to a place where I'm happy with it.

Lemmyin.org

How about something less direct like: OffTheCliff.social

how about lemmings.social?

lemmy.be.social

I have used a Chatbot hence the redundancy. Made small modifications, it's a start.
Regarding the downvote:
Roughled some feathers from the looks of it, good
