    the current domain is magnaromagna.it
    New site will import main arguments (talking about restaurants, travel, strange news, video, funny images, recipes) with new args (surf, windsurf, and include another generic forum), so I'd like a neutral name, easy to remember

    Hmmm... might be tough to get help here with Italian words.

    Since you do not have a strongly focused niche, it is probably best to choose something "short" (as you suggested) and memorable.

    very useful hint.
    A doubt: I find many avalaible names/domains, but only for .it version, not for the .com
    Do you think is important to have both? I see many important italian sites that has only the .it extension, because the .com is taken by other companies.

    I'd say it's better to have .com available as well

    right. I see that many italian famous websites and many my competitors do not have both .com and .it (parked domains), maybe I think is important but not a must. I found a domain I like, after registration I'll ask to you what do you think
    The problem of actual domain is that the name is too much focused on a local zone, but the site is national

    Using .it will likely give you a boost in Google.

    I think I'll choise one of theese:
    baltazar.it (my real nickname)
    xaiel.com (local word)
    vadoqui.it (italian "I go here")


    I guess that the .com could be mispelled often

    vadoqui.it is probably the best choice.

    What does "xaiel" mean?

    xaiel means "what" or "what happens", but is a word known only in a limited zone in Italy.

    wrong, is vadoqui.com , not vadoqui.it
