I was today days old when I found an AI that brainstorms domain names for me — and, more importantly, has a mode called Insane Mode that throws out the safe, obvious suggestions and goes somewhere genuinely unexpected.
If you have ever tried to name a side project, a startup, or literally anything that needs a domain, you know the drill. The name you want is taken. The .com is parked. The .io is $4,000. The alternatives the registrars suggest are garbage. You spend two hours going in circles and end up registering something with a hyphen.
Domainiac is the way out of that loop.
How it works:
You describe what your project does — a sentence, a few keywords, a vibe — and Domainiac's AI generates a list of domain name suggestions with real-time availability and live pricing across three registrars (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Dynadot). It flags the cheapest option. You see the price before you ever leave the page.
The normal mode is solid. The Insane Mode is the thing. Toggle it on and the suggestions break from conventional naming patterns — disemvowel tricks, smashed compound words, l33t-speak variations, rhyming constructions, names that feel like they were coined in a fever dream and then turned out to be kind of perfect. Some are unusable. Some make you say 'wait, that's actually good.' That's the point.
The swipe interface:
Swipe left to pass, swipe right to save. The more you swipe, the more the AI learns what you're looking for — shorter, longer, punchier, weirder. You can mark keywords as required or force them to appear first in the name. It's less like a search tool and more like a collaborative session.
Talk to Dom:
There's also a chat interface called Talk to Dom — an AI assistant you can use conversationally to steer the suggestions. 'Make it more playful.' 'Keep the word cloud in there.' 'What if it sounded like a verb?' Dom holds context across the conversation and tightens the results with each exchange.
The practical part:
Every suggestion links directly to the registrars. You're not leaving with a list of names to research separately — you're leaving with availability confirmed, prices compared, and a direct path to register the one you want. The cheapest price across the three registrars is highlighted automatically.
Who built it:
Domainiac is a project by the same team behind TodayDaysOld. We built it because we kept running into the same domain-naming problem on every new side project — and nothing we found quite solved it. This is our solution. We use it ourselves.
If you're sitting on a project idea that doesn't have a name yet, or you've been holding a rough idea because you couldn't find a domain that fit: start here.
