Some people have asked me what phonetic means. I don't want to write up the dictionary meaning, but simply put, in relation to domain names, let's jsut say it means you can read the letters and pronounce something that sounds like to could be a word, whether it is or not. Something that sounds cool.
Google, Zopa, Digg, and most of the crazy made up company names of internet companies are phonetic. but words like kypq, fdiw and otxi are not. You can argue that you can make sounds form them, but they are just guttural sounds, not sounds that are natural off the tongue and sound like they could possibly be a word of some sort, in any language.
And for what I'm looking for, they should sound sort of cool.
Thanks.
