What should I name my Firefish instance

I run a server https://calckey.world , which used to be CalcKey, but the software was re-branded to Firefish. Unfortunately, firefish.world is taken. What domain should I use for my new Firefish instance? Preferably a .world domain.

I have remembered these options suggested to me so far:

dartfish.world (a sort of fish similar to the firefish)
fedifish.world
fire-fish.world
f-fish.world

Any other suggestions? Or do you like one of the above?

fedifish.world sounds nice to me.
- fedifish sounds so serious though, and having"fediverse" in every fediverse instance's name is kinda boring
- Fedifish sounds the best out of the given options I think.
  
  don't say it too fast: fetish

Didyoufedthefish.world
- feedthe.fish
  TIL .fish is an actual TLD apparently

fish.tank

apparently .fish and .fishing are actual top level domains
- Too bad fire.fish is also gone..
  
  maybe fish.fire is available?
  edit: apparently .fire is reserved for Amazon

sushi.world 🍣
- sushi.fish

Fedifish sounds good. Definitely don't use fire-fish, that would just confuse everyone into thinking they're the same instance.
Side note: I'm really glad they rebranded. Calckey was such a weird name.

grilled.fish ?

Fedifish sounds the best from those

Personally would avoid calling yourself what everything else is called. Yet another fire/fedi/fetid/fish. Show your imagination and call it mullet or something, at the very least.
- I'm with this. Keep the .world TLD for continuity across your sites, but please, stop with the clichéd "fedi" stuff (that goes for anybody running an ActivityPub-based server!) and get imaginative on the rest. Fire fish? Flaming Mullet. Grilled Salmon. Go wild along that theme! Or give it a name that reflects the desired content. Or ...

Do you have a reason to stick with the .world TLD?
Something like ruuds.world ("Ruud's world"), or is that to corny? Or perhaps ruudscoffee.house, ruuds.pub or something like that?
Anyway, I suggest staying away from mentioning the software by name in the url given the cons (a hypothetical second rebrand, for example).

TBH, the fish tld is kinda lame, and I say this as a firefish user. But yeah, here are my $0.02:
gefilte.fish
wearethe.world
fishkey.world

Something that hasn't the word Fish in the name.

Fishfed

Was a domain for the firefish instance decided on yet? Was wondering if y’all were going to go with fedifish.world, firefish.mastodon.world or firefishkey.world

@ruud@lemmy.world firefishwastaken.world

Dave

fieryfish.world seems to be available.
