One of The Funniest Names for A Credit Card Site

I know from experience that finding the right name for a credit card site isn't easy. The competition for names is so intense that I chose to use country code top level domains (TLD's) for my sites.

For those who are still in love with dot-COM domain names, all I can say is: good luck. All the good names are taken and have either been developed or are being horded by domain investors.

Today I came across a credit card-related, dot-COM name that made me LOL. The name is CREDITVAN_DOT_COM. I'm chuckling just writing about it. Maybe its just me but, IMHO, this name sends the wrong message. It's like, "Yes, step into my dark yellow, 70's-era van and get credit! We have toys and candy inside!" I can imagine posters of Farrah Fawcett and tricked out Corvettes adorning the interior, along with lots of shag carpeting and maybe even a miniature disco ball. Good stuff!

  2. I think of the van from Scooby Doo! Great Stuff! But I don't think I would give them my personal info.

  3. Honestly.. reading that domain makes me think of some crazy on the side of the road offering free candy to a child trying to lure them into kidnapping.

    Its unfortunate the site is still around.. must be receiving some customers.
