    I'm looking for creative ideas for a personal domain name.

    Currently, I own iwcforum.com, which I use for some of my articles and also a link to my Vintage Catalog Project pages. If you're not aware of it, you can click on the link below. I probably should add my 2008 SIHH articles --one of these days.

    Back in 2003 I also prepared a page entitled a "personal pocket watch collection", in which I briefly highlighted a few of the "basic" IWC pocket watches in my collection. It hasn't been updated in many years, but you can see it at
    www.iwcforum.com/Articles/MFPocketWatches/text2.html

    Shortly thereafter, I decided to expand that into an IWC pocket watch website. I had some programming and design issues, and that never got fully off the ground, although there's a lot of materials sitting in folders on one of my hard drives.

    For that site, I reserved the name www.iwcpocketwatches.com. However, I'm having some difficulties with the registrar and also I'm not sure it's an optimal name. It's kind of long and perhaps not a perfect choice for search engines.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a better name?

    Thanks,
    Michael

    pocketwatchesbyIWC.com

    A Google search of Pocket Watches + IWC inevitably comes back with multiple hits. I capitalized the IWC in the above domain suggestion to break up the long string and make it easier to read. Perhaps the connecting word could be "from" vs. "by",

    Your registered name will turn up the same links in Google.

    Just a thought although perhaps not too creative.

    Any ideas for a pocket watch domain name?

    My opinion is that your original name is still the best : www iwcpocketwatches.com. After the funny and silly names have been forgotten, collectors will google IWC and Pocket Watches. Not WITH RESPECT"dreams", Probus Scafusia" or "Taschenuhren" An alternative could be : www pocketwatchesiwc.com.
    Regards,
    Adrian.
