patrix.com?

My brother is giving me a personalized domain for my blog as an early birthday present. The problem is what should I name it? I am throwing this open. Suggest me a name.

- should be short
- should be reflective of my blog
- can include Patrix in the name for obvious reasons.
- definitely should be modest and not cool in a fake way.

If your suggestion is selected, also suggest me what I should give you (relieves me from the burden of suggesting a crappy incentive). You may or may not get it. I can throw in a Gmail invite or a guest authorship on my blog, at best. Although altruistic contributions are encouraged I’ll try not to be stingy but don’t expect the moon either.

PS. there is already a patrix.com, so don’t bother with the obvious.

    That should be a cool idea (having a domain, I mean). Whatever you choose, make sure that it sounds as good as it spells–meaning you don’t have to literally spell it to someone when you mention your domain (something I’d do if I were doing it fresh).

    Also, it need not be a name, as I see people owning all sorts of nice website names like notmyself.com, stupidfool.org, waxy.org (I agree they’re funny :) and many others like.

    Good luck :)

    how about patrixology.com ?

    and your “will try not to be stingy…” had me in splits. :) IF you like my suggestion, i would be happy with *just* that pic of yours..the one with the whipped cream :)

  • Neha

    Ah….interesting…

    Patrix your anglizied name..And you are Indian.And most Indian names are orginally from sanskrit.In sanskrit your name means symbol/emblem.

    Patrix now reminds me of Matrix with a P…matrix being a mystery …and patrix being a mystery to you?

    Also…Patrix means a mold of a Linotype for casting right-reading type for use in dry offset.(got thisone from the net)

    Patrix could also be the corrupt form of patric….oh well…there is no end to speculations :P

    The gift…well the gift….oh just contact me and i ll tell how you could send it through! :P

  • alpha

    How abt NosyPatrix, StrawberryPatrix, Tinda, Popatrix, OliveofOle…
    I think I lost hopes of any gift eh? Popms, you change your requirements daily..it was strawberry..now whip cream? *shakes head in disbelief*

    psst… Does you brother need some major favor from you?

  • alpha

    Patrix, you shud have told me that it was a ‘derive the meaning of your name and analyze’ contest! *sulks at the prospect of Neha getting the prize*

  • Neha

    Alpha….umm…..ehhh…..well….ahhh…..ummm…

    ….I am short of words….But I shall get to you soon :D

  • alpha

    And Yogu, that way he can have Apple sponsored ads for us to click on.

    Plus, he is quite concieted to start with..why all this ipatrix and all? He wanted modest, remember. It shud be- whopatrix.com that way he can please Aaar also.

    forget the patrix..go fo rthe latest fall trend-
    blogjawan.com (going with your patriotism)
    jivha.com (that way you are already popular)
    Mofootuth.com (foot in the mouth)

    Whoa! people…thats a lot to digest…hajmolasir.com?

    Alpha, you think I am conceited?? thatz it..no more personal posts…just boring politiccal rants and olympic news..countdown to Beijing. Popatrix is cool though…but don’t want ppl mistaking me for kareena “Po banni parvati” Kapoor

    Yogu…honestly bata iPatrix kahan se sunna? coz I also got that by an anonymous submission..but it was more on lines of I,Robot.

    Neha – Good analysis but you sound like a perfect engineer…what I need, you didn’t tell me…names plz.

    Pompy – patrixology is cool but a lil nerdy (so whatz the prob?, you will say)..and whipped cream? getting kinky, aren’t we?

    Wings – You have the whole weekend to have fun…and what i meant by include patrix is to include the spirit of patrix…wah!wah!kya philosophy hai.

    Chetan – Yup. I get what you mean…trying to find those kinda too..the ones we use regularly but aren’t yet taken…too bad that gotohell.com is taken..shaay!

    Pleo – ek se mera kya hoga…err..ok you have two more…

    Thinktank – care to spring a leak in your tank and offer a few more innovative ones?

    Maya – Blue?? no more blues.

  • http://patrix.typepad.com Patrix

    Aar – Patme..sounds too .err..paedophilic. Jatrix kahan se aaya?..don’t give me such perverted names :)

  • alpha

    patme? jeez aaar..looks like you are getting wild ideas just thinking of patrix..it shows. You are giving Smiley some competition. Now if all the honhaar *hehe*, handsome guys *splutter* start turning gays, what will happen to poor Lee, Maya and Neha?

    Ok fine..at least this post has given you ample opportunities to flirt with Neha even if you didnt get the name you were looking for. (that you even forget to address someone as sweet as Maya)

    Patrix my child, join alpha course now..or else..THE LORD WILL NO LONGER PROTECT YOU FROM SHUBCHINTAKS.

    Maya memsaab, calling me Srimati Srimati Alphamata sounds like I’m 18 centuries old living in Sundarban jungles sitting on a deer-skin & eating berries. Dont exactly fancy that picture..tho must admit ‘pieces of Patrix’ sounds good as I am so pissed that I am not gettting the award that that’s going to be his fate now.

  • http://patrix.typepad.com Patrix

    Neighaaa – Its been a long time since I saw a sherni in a horse’s clothing.

    Nemesis – Oh yeah! it sure is..kya re, no originality…you won’t get an Abby for that, ask Lee

    Alpha – kaheka flirt yaar…Neha will be ripping me apart in her Sherni-avatar :) and you joined Yogu’s company in spirituality..next we will be reading deep introspective posts on how to eat your berries to find inner peace.
