Creative, short, clever, perfect domain names can be a real bugger to come up with sometimes. That is probably why there is a service to fill the need for people who don't want to go through the trouble of picking their domain names, and it's called PickyDomains.If you need a great, memorable, easy to pronounce domain name that EXACTLY describes what your website is all about - you are in the right place. This is what we do. We find available domain names that are descriptive, concise and are easily remembered. And if we can't find one, or you don't like any available domain names we suggest – you don't pay anything. PickyDomains is completely RISK FREE.
It appears that you pay them $50, and if they suggest a domain you like they keep the money and you get the domain name, and if you never pick a domain they refund your money.
Also you might like that PickyDomains is FREE FOR BLOGGERS! You just need to blog about it and you will get to use the service free one time.
Disclaimer: I haven't tried PickyDomains so I would email them for the details on the offer first. (no I'm not using this post to get a free pick, i like picking my own domains, just passing the info along to you, the idea was interesting ;-)
Finally they offer the option to get paid to pick domain names for people where you get $25 for every domain somebody accepts.
Kinda had me thinking "why didn't I think of that?"

Rock on mark- I'll give them a plug on jcCommerce to get someone else to cuss at the domain registry tool. I HATE picking domains!DerekBeau says on September 13, 2007
Looks cool, I might try them out for my next domain. I just registered a "creative" domain last night that I had been trying to come up with for days.

Ya picking names kinda sucks. I spent 2 hours finding mine cause everyone I wanted was dedicated to the adult industry. They have all the good names I think.Carl Zetterlund says on September 13, 2007
Huh... interesting. I'd be a bit weary of letting others do that. They might just ideas and register the cool web 2.0 domain themselves.
I can see a huge flurry of new domains like Plumbr.com, Boogr.com, Snickr.com.... and the list goes on.
But neato idea anyway. It's not something I would have thought would have a big enough market to make any decent money. I can relate that it is awfully annoying to find just the right domain.
What's to stop you from just registering one of their suggested domains yourself? It's like a getting free list of cool domains. Evil... I know, but...

Wow, wish I thought of that! I too like picking domain names - it helps you learn about the keywords you may be after.

Personally I find conjuring up domain names very enjoyable, much like a crossword puzzle.
Why pay someone else to have all the fun? :-)

@all - thanks for the feedback, glad you liked the tool@carl - I'm guessing they have some kinda policy in place to stop gaming the system, I "hope" they would anyway ;-)

PickDomains is Risk Free !
That's FALSE !!!
I submitted many domains to this website and most of them was stolen and never been paid, the buyer register the domains and flag them as disliked, so he get many domain ideas and don't pay for any or just one, the other.
So one Advice, AVOID this website, go and register the domain your self and sell it on some marketplaces it's better and can reward you more.
The idea behind this website is to steal your IDEAS, and when i contacted the owner of that website with some evidences, he told me this :
"These are both not very valuable generic domain names. Most likely there were registered before and ended up on expired domain lists and then someone re-registered them."
while the domain was registered two days after i have submitted them to that website and never been registered before !!! refering to Domaintools.com
