Name choosing: Zombish, Wubel or LinkBilly?

Hi,

I was looking for hours for the right group to ask this question, me and my friend are making a local site that is similiar to reddit or digg, but it sorts the links you see using a different (and hopefully better) algorithm, we sat more than 8 hours and raised names (that were not already taken). We tried to narrow all these that we didn't like and we got only 3:
wubel.com
zombish.com
linkbilly.com

Wubel is cute, simple and short word.
Zombish is a "real" word, and cute.
LinkBilly, we derivated it from Hill Billy, and we thought that we later might match a virtual character to this name.

It was really hard for us to decide which one to use,
We'll appreciate any opinion.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel.

Hi Raphael,

Thanks for the comment! much appreciated.
Wubel is pronounced more like who-bel.

I think LinkBill sounds like you are going to get a bill for links :) I also think linkitbilly is a nice idea but it makes the name too long.

I would go with LinkBilly.

Although to be honest Zombish might have a bigger effect. And like atract more visitors :-) (I think)

Hey Danial,

IMO Wubel seems far better than the rest. For simple reasons such as:
1. Easy to pronounce/say.
2. Sounds cool/teenage.

Cheers.

Hi Daniel,
I like both Wubel and Linkbilly. The first one is easier to pronunce and sound more "serious", the second sound more "friendly".
Many wishes
Paolo
