Domain Names

posted by [personal profile] benlehman at 12:27am on 13/10/2004
So I've been thinking about getting a personal domain name...



Almost certainly a .net I'm not a non-profit, nor will I be selling stuff out of this domain.

the contenders are, sorted by category:

My interest in myth:
mythopoeisis.net (see Rich's comments in my last post)
xenomythology.net
xenomysticism.net

Favorite gods:
ninshubar.net (you know... uh... well... maybe you don't. Google it.)
quetzlcoatl.net

my name:
leibingxian.net
benlehman.net

references to stories:
abli.net / aibli.net
swift-quiet.net
daiethion.net
13thschool.net
tulgeyhill.net

Thoughts?

I'm on a roll today. Post post post... ok, wait, I should add something. Hm, ok, predictably I'm going to say I like "mythopoeisis.net," and I'll add "benlehman.net" for the having your own real name effect. Hm. I also don't actually get the references but like the sound of swift-quiet.net and 13thschool.net.

Whew, not much good at narrowing the field, am I?

Which "Lei" is your Chinese name? The "thunder" one, as in Lei Gong the thunder god? I'm in the middle of writing a Chinese rock song called (warning: China dork joke!) "Xuexi Lei Gong"...

Shi a. "Xuexi Lei Feng" de Lei.

Also, this (http://zhongwen.com/d/184/d91.gif) bing and the "xian" from "xiansheng."

You're really going for the hard to spell domains there. My thoughts would lean more towards:

benlehman.net
swift-quiet.net
xenomythology.net
quetzlcoatl.net

You know you've run too many Aztec-themed LARPs when "quetzlcoatl" is easy to spell.

P.S. How many is too many? Hmm...

I always phrased this as "you know you've run too many Aztec-themed LARPS when you have pet names for the Aztec gods".

Between Quetzl, Tezcat, Xipe, and Tlazl I think I can safely say that this makes One, one too many. :)

You forget Huitzil. Or, as his friends call him, Pochtli.

I think that, of these, Tezcat is the best. Because it implies that he is a type of cat. Which he is.

Ah, false cognates.

True, but Quetzl sounds a bit like Pretzel, which while not apropriate is at least funny.

Hey, _I_ use "Tezcat" and "Xipe," and I've never even participated in an Aztec-themed _anything_. I prefer the cute and diminuative form "Huitzi" (often rhymes with "tweetsy") for everybody's favorite heart-eating god of war, though. Tlaloc gets the shaft, since he already has a short name. "Hey, Tlal? Get over here and bleed some rain!"

I'm fairly sure that I've seen email addresses from tezcat .com and .net , unfortunately.

Of the lot, I like ninshubar.net best. I've got a big weakness for Near Eastern stuff.

My favorite of these is 13thschool.net, but (to no one's surprise) I like all of the "references to stories" ones.

13thschool.net is pretty cool -- the only unfortunate aspect of it (to me) is that it has both numerals and letters, which is a bit unwieldy. But it is a clever story references and also sounds generally cool, which is better than the more obscure "daiethion" or "abli." But, that said, abli.net is short.

pondering...
