I've just launched my startup (http://suggestmyname.com) and would appreciate any feedback. Suggestmyname.com aims to make it a lot simpler to pick a good business name with an available domain and start building your beta list.

How it works 1. you choose the number of name or domain suggestions you want 2. briefly describe your website/business, and if it's a domain you specify which domain extensions you'll accept (eg. .com .net etc) 3. if (for example) you chose 100 suggestions you get 100 available domain suggestions from 100 different people located in the United States 4. those who like the sound of your idea can opt in to be notified when you launch 5. you can optionally choose the 5 best names and we'll get 100 people to vote on their favourite

The website is fairly basic (MVP), but any feedback on that, the concept in general or marketing strategy would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also looking for 5 people to beta test the service with. If you need a name for a startup or sideproject please let me know in the comments. For the beta test you'll get 100 domain/website/business name suggestions from 100 different people. Free of course.
