Lucky ones are those who started to use internet back in the 1990’s, when majority of domain names were only starting to get grabbed up. These days, finding a good domain name is not an easy task, especially when it comes to finding one for your new business or project.

Lets get all the hip stuff out of the way straight away. The following generator can be used to generate Hipster-ish brand names that are available for domain registration as well. Some of the names are actually quite decent, but if anything – it might inspire you to go after a name that you perhaps wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.

This is my favorite one, because it allows for a lot of flexibility and you can actually find genuine, usable domain/brand names through using this tool. Enter your keyword and select the options to begin your search. Easy as that.
3. Lean Domain Search
Another great domain/brand searching site. You only have to enter a name or a phrase that you’re after, and the output is all the available domains containing that name. Some of the searches I did returned thousands of available results, definitely worth spending time on.
