Question ID: 190138
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 gimmicky, "cheesy" terms like www.ezmoney.com, etc. 
ideally a focus away from terms that explicitly say money (cash,
dough, money, 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
7. 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.
8. additionally, words that conjure up linking or unifying the world -
smallworld, unify, connect, etc.
