Most of the domain names in my portfolio were chosen on the basis of easy transition, that being 1)see or hear it, 2)say it, 3)type it. I wouldn't waste money on a name like zixxo unless I could also get zixo, ziixo and zixoo as typo backups. Pay enough people to be research subjects and you'll find out something I already knew: The most common typos for double letters are conversion to single letter sometimes with a doubling of the adjacent letter. Use "letter" as an example - leter, leeter and leteer would be common typos. I am astounded at some of the names mentioned in this article!

The sound of the word is also similar to pronunciation of the word "rocket"? in Russian and Japanese. Please note that the word Raketu is NOT a mambo jumbo word. We chose this name not only because the visionary behind Raketu, G. Parker, is an astrophysicist, but also Raketu software will take communications and media the way we know it to another level.

It is really difficult to come up with a decent, short name if you don't want to buy on the secondary market. I thought Fark was a pretty good name.
