Do you think anyone has told him? That would be kinda cruel ...

"Good morning Doc"
"Ah, good morning - I have bad news and good news for you"
"MMmhh ... What's the good news ?"
"You have an incurable disease and three days left before you die"
"WTE ??! If that's the good news, what's the bad news ?"
"I've been trying to reach you for the last two days"

A friend of mine wants to start a company, but finding a company name seems impossible
He makes drawings in (Auto)CAD.
All the good names are gone, the slightly lesser names are also gone, some of the boring names are gone too.
Some names aren't taken by companies, but by assholes who buy up all good domain names so they can sell them for $$$.
The really boring names like "[last name] CAD" remain.
He has a common name though, so googling for his last name gives you some chemist, a car dealer and a stage builder as well.
I've been through this pain a few years ago when I ultimately settled for JUUN Software.
Sounds cool (if I say so myself), but juun is just local dialect for onion, which I chose when I went to lunch frustrated, because I couldn't think of a good name, and found an onion in my fridge.
Spoiler alert, there are already multiple companies named Onion as well 
The Dutch word for onion is ui (English doesn't have the sound we use to pronounce this, but it's kind of like the "ui" in "guide"), but you can see how UI is a problematic name as well 
JUUN is cool because it's a local export product, just like me, and because they say good software is like an onion, built in layers (at least that's what I tell my customers).
It also makes you cry, but let's ignore that
How will the people of the future ever start a new business (or get an email address for that matter)?

Don't worry, kids these days are inventing new words on an hourly basis... there will be plenty to choose from.
All you need to do is choose a word you like, spell it like you never went to school, and boom... you have the perfect "hip and trendy" domain name.

Another trusted 'formula' is stringing two or three random words/part-words together. e.g:
Micro Soft
Face Book
Insta Gram
And check there's a suitable domain name available. It's as easy as HeyBeeCee! Note. ".co.uk" is available for that!
