jackHow 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?

Yes, and yes.

And yes. I think you can count on mathematicians, historians of the eighteenth century, philosophers, and trivia junkies. I was going to say French people too, but they might have a different word for 'cartesian'... :)
