I realize name is not the most important part of a business, but the value you build around it. Still, it's worth discussing how almost every meaningful word and combination of words is not going to be available as a .com + all social media handles.
For a premium or luxury consumer brand, which option do you like best? I thought I had finally settled on a name, but the twitter isn't available (it's literally never been used, though). I thought about another one, but the instagram is taken (personal account, 200 followers). Really obscure word combinations, too! Couldn't believe it.

Current options:
- Try to buy the social media accounts. Realistically, there's little to no budget for this.
- Don't worry about the social media accounts matching the website/brand name exactly. Just reserve handles that are as close as possible.
- Invent a new word with an X in it or slap "ify" on the end of a word. Grab all the accounts. This is easiest, but I think slightly harder to build a high end image around.
