I share resources for researching the etymology and significance of names. Use these databases to look up the origins of your own name or explore the specific cultural history and meanings of various Asian names.
Use Google Image search to quickly determine if an unfamiliar name is typically male or female. This visual heuristic provides instant context for gender-ambiguous names, though it may fail for common unisex names.
I share a fascinating look into the etymology of 'hello,' covering its rise as a telephone greeting championed by Thomas Edison over Alexander Graham Bell's 'ahoy' and its origins in older hailing calls.
I noted the launch of the .name top-level domain and predict that domain name prices will continue to crash. This expansion of the domain space offers more personal options and drives down registration costs.
I found an extensive resource listing names for everything imaginable, from everyday objects to astronomical bodies. It serves as a comprehensive taxonomy and reference for specific terminology and nomenclature across many different domains and categories.
I analyzed domain name availability and found that all two- and three-letter acronyms are taken. Additionally, 80% of four-letter acronyms and most common names are registered, showing the extreme scarcity of short web addresses.
