I am about to venture into the world of on-line dating. My target
audience are 2-fold: first being mainstream, as in 25-50+
middle-class/ professionals. Second being a younger demographic, think
15-25, hipper, trendier. Any suggestions as to a domain name? Nothing
overly long or too cute or too complicated. I am thinking mass appeal
and broad demographics. THANKS IN ADVANCE for the many great ideas I
expect. PS: if I actually do use the URL I will bonus another 250.00.
Best, M

Just to clarify: I am looking for two distinct domains. One for each
target audience. Thanks

Just to clarify for the researcher that takes this question.  Does the
suggested domain name need to be currently available, or are you
willing to acquire it?  Some of the suggested names might be reserved
by squatters.  I just want to be sure that you get the type of help
you are looking for.

Hello Emmie100,

Below is the result of my research and brainstorming session for an
online dating service domain name. "Available" indicates the domain
name is available at the time I posted this answer. The other names
are already reserved, but might be for sale.


Domain name                     Taken?
