How about cartesian-heights.org? It's distinctive, it's a nice name, it looks fairly easy to type.

Are hyphens sane in domain names? I know many sites automatically reject[1] any email address with a "+" in, is a "-" likely to be a problem?

If you saw it, would you remember if it had a hyphen, dot, underscore or nothing between the words? If I said "cartesian heights dot org with a hyphen" would you understand it?

Are you familiar enough with the adjective "cartesian" to be able to remember it if you hadn't heard it before?

Are hyphens sane? Yes. I use - in place of the + when + is rejected.

If you saw it, would you remember? No.
Although I know enough about names not to expect you to own heights.org.
I'd probably try it - without a hyphen, get the "Cannot be found", and type cartesian heights into google.

If I said (etc)? Don't know

Are you familiar enough (etc)? Don't know. I've been familiar with your LJ name for ages now.

Have you forgotten how to use formatting? No I'm just lazy.


Alternatively, I could sell you liveflurble.com for a vast fee. I'm not using it any more.

Thanks.

"type cartesian heights into google."

I think that's a fine method, if people get that far I'm happy -- that's what I almost always do unless I actually know a domain.

To me, flurble is you, I'm confused enough if you and your sister share names, let alone me :)

I think I need something good to go in the "..." first.

Maybe cheese.
