Resources: Choosing a domain name?

[Russ H]

Looking at different domain names for our upcoming napa valley site (about all things in the napa valley).

Now that we have google instant, when you start to type "napa valley", it starts to give you results before you're done (see attached screen grabs).

For this reason, I'm not sure if names like napaval.com make sense? Prolly not, but I thought I'd bring it up.

If not, I'm looking for an easy to type (like from an iphone) keyword phrase for a domain name.

I'm assuming .com, .net, and .org are still the biggies--- but it's interesting to note that ALL of the napavalley-dot- domains are taken.

So, what to do?

What are the things google likes, from a domain name perspective?

Things like napaval.com?

napavalley1.com?

napavalley(word).com?

or, perhaps, just napa(word) or napa(short something).com?

Are there any websites/blogs that talk about this?

Anyone who has studied it (not just hot air-- actual results)?

All ideas/feedback from folks who have worked on this kinda stuff, are welcomed.

Thank you,

-Russ H.
