Thoughts regarding a future domain name

[brooksmoses]

One of the many things that gets overturned in my life when I graduate (or shortly thereafter) is my email address. And so I've been thinking a bit about how best to solve this problem.

A piece of the solution is that a group of friends of mine are running a small server as a co-op, and would be glad to let me have an account on it in return for an appropriate share of the collocation fees. The one remaining point is that they've set it up so that each person is using their own domain name for email addresses -- and, besides, it would be just as problematic to have my "permanent" email address tied to "my-friends-coop.net" as it is to have it tied to stanford.edu.

So. The question that this leads to, of course, is "What shall I choose for a domain name?" This is what I've got so far:

Domain Name	Pros	Cons
droplet.net	A nice echo of my current server's name, droplet.stanford.edu	Taken by a holding company. No doubt too expensive to buy.
whorls.net	Similar to droplet, in being a single fluid-mechanics-related word. Echoes the "Big whorls have little whorls" poem about turbulence. Is one word, relatively short.	Doesn't really resonate with me. (Would probably grow on me, though.)
dropletfield.net	Contains droplet. Has echoes of my current research/career interests, and sounds nicely sciency.	Is a bit long, particularly if I add third-level names to it.
myfirstisp.net	Is very cute. Is also true.	Is very cute.
zq0.net	Is as short as I can get in an available domain name. Has a rather euphonious sound to it.	Signifies nothing.
dpdx.net	Short. Also means something; dp/dx is a pressure gradient.	Possibly odd to have math in one's domain name.
unicornsoup.net	Is somewhat more lighthearted, less "engineeringish". The sound of the name is pleasant.	What does it mean? Does it involve harm to unicorns?
lunavax.net	Nice sf-ish echo of kremvax	The server isn't really a Vax. And the lifetime-wear properties of the joke may not be as good as one would desire.
oortvax.net	Possibly a nicer name than lunavax, and the word boundary is easier to spot.	Same possibility of the joke wearing thin.
cutename.net	Very meta. Also possibly funny.	Excessively meta. Also likely to wear thin.
tincansandstring.net	Another cute name...	...which I am unlikely to really want.

I think that's all the ideas that I've had lately. Thoughts, additions, comments?
