Question ID: 190067
We're looking for a name for an online money remittance service.  

This service allows immigrants to send money through the Internet
which is then picked up or delivered in cash to the recipient in the
receiving country.  This is to be a global brand.  Western Union is
the market leader here.  One direct competitor is C2it (www.c2it.com)
which may yield more insight on how the business works, the audience,
etc.

The domain must be available.  We'll pay the listed amount when we
reserve the domain (that can be easily confirmed).  If we do go live
with the name, we will also pay an additional larger amount at our
discretion.  Those attempting to squat on domains for additional money
will be ignored.

Answers should simply appear in this format:

www.suggestednameofcompany.com

The name should be:

1.  easy to spell
2.  universal (must work across multiple languages to an extent)
3.  not include gimicky, "cheesy" terms like www.ezmoney.com, etc.
4.  doesn't have to exactly describe the service (e.g. concepts like
Amazon or Yahoo)
5.  domain *must* be newly available (not through a resale)
6.  domain must have the .com extension

RE: "We'll pay the listed amount when we reserve the domain (that can
be easily confirmed)."

Most researchers will have a slight problem with this. I am willing to
come up with 20-30 great names meeting your criteria, but not for a
"chance to get $15" after Google takes $5.

Are you interested?

Hi - I'm using GA for the first time so may be making some mistakes. 
we do like this direction - especially these:

www.cashoom.com 
www.globetwist.com 
www.shuttleit.com
www.currencydash.com 

Also, airlines, networking and shipping companies tend to have a lot
of names that share the direction we're trying to take - oneworld,
staralliance, fedex, transworld, etc.

additionally, words that conjur up linking or unifying the world -
smallworld, unify, connect, etc.

Hello kevinh,

Thanks for the tip. I posted the clarification because I thought that
you were only willing to pay the listing fee for the "perfect name".
Recently researchers have been suggesting names in the comment area
and were not getting paid for their time because people would close
the question without accepting an answer. We prefer to get paid for
the research we do. :)

My suggestion for you is to be as specific as you can in the next
question and also provide a link to this answer so that the next
researcher to help you will better know what kind of name you are
looking for.

Here are a few extra ones for you: 

www.dashyourcash.com
www.earthtwist.com
www.connectedcash.com
www.uniteddraft.com (draft as in wind)
www.uniteddream.com
www.earthblaze.com 

Good luck,

tisme-ga

Hello kevinh,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note regarding your new question. Even
though it appears that a researcher is answering it, in fact the
Googlebot has a lock on it. The "Googlebot" locks all questions that
have the word "google" in the question in case a Google employee wants
to address the question themselves.

There is no problem with the question as listed... and I am sure you
will get a response by tomorrow. Before a researcher will be able to
tackle it though, an employee at Google will need to release the
question to us researchers. I am just telling you this in case you are
expecting an answer tonight because it appears that a researcher has
it locked

All the best!
