Security startup
OK, this might come as a shocker, but yeah, sriramb and me are starting a security consulting startup. As sriram points out, we need a good name for which a .com domain is available. We have been breaking our head’s over it for a while, but you know how it is coming up with good names.
So if you have any idea’s do pitch in. We will give away one stock of our company to you if you have the winning name 🙂
More details about this coming soon …
Update: The contest is closed and the winners (if any) will be announced in a while 🙂
WePlugHoles.com 😉
Unless someone comes up with a more creative name, you get the prize for creativity and humour!
Yay!! I could always use a paid LJ a/c:)
If i am not wrong, pointbreak.com should be still available.
ah… the old days! 🙂
ClosedForBusiness
This is great! I would try to think about few suggestions.
BTW, is this company mainly going to concentrate on Indian businesses or businesses worldwide? If main focus is indian businesses then desi name could be picked up more easily.
And yeah, all the best! 🙂
JD
names of founders
kalsri.com and srikal.com
apostrophesarenotforplurals.com
Tiger Security Group 🙂
You did it! :))
Sounds watchman-ish :p
more
I was thinking more along the lines of the Humble security co
or the honest security co or the real world security co
names that come to mind and avialable are
aslisec.com
ASLIWEB.COM
humsec.com
SECSIM.COM
closelyopen/openlyclosed
Btw, are you going to have a rae for mission statement and logo too 😉
I know, wasn’t he mistaken for a watchman in Yahoo for a while? 😀
First up, congratulations! This is awesome news.
I just wanted to say that and stop, but since everyone else has made a contribution already, here’s my shot at the name: securityconsultingstartup
If you want it shorter – it could be ‘seconst’
sec-see.com
for 1 stock
Kintenta
Invot
Mekkor
Pasonce
Asorio

From the time when some virus on Windows had crashed my project work at midnight.
How about CloseSesame?
And hey, good luck!
I did the same to. ;))
Argos/Argus??
http://www.answers.com/topic/argus
The watchman of Hera in greek mythology and whats more – “To commemorate her faithful watchman, Hera had the hundred eyes of Argus preserved forever, in a peacock’s tail” – a subtle hint to our national bird. You can use the peacock feather to design your official colors/symbol.
Getting the domain – you can try to append or prepend some letters (inc. etc etc)
W.A.N.
1. Just like ‘Vanguard’ …. which has the following meanings .. which seem apt for ur purpose :
> the leading units moving at the head of an army [ in ur domain … the first line of defense ]
> avant-garde: any creative group active in the innovation and application of new concepts and techniques in a given field [ …. can exactly map ur mission objectives ]
so my first suggestion …. http://www.WANGUARD.com 🙂 … a pun intended … for the Wide Area Network guards 😉
2. Again a play on the word WAN … but this time … from the concept of manholes … how about ‘www.WANHOLEPLUGGERS.com’ …. sounds geeky and garage style … 🙂 ..
3. last pick … a play on ‘security’ …. http://www.seCUREity.com
– aj (anoop) … email : anoop@netscaler.com
Re: W.A.N.
4. http://www.watchwan.com ( … a play on watchman ) … guess i am boring with this WAN fetishness .. :-d
-aj email : anoop@netscaler.com
Enterprise Security Associates.
ESA [thats how its gonna get listed in sometime]

And who is this ?
mostly indian, but would not want to have ‘india’ inside the name.. but would not mind an “indian” name

defcon1ready.com is available.
Definition for defcon as suggested by google:-
DEFense CONditions. In the event of en emergency, a series of different alert conditions can be called by the US. DEFCON-5 is normal peacetime readiness, DEFCON-4, normal, with increased intelligence and strengthened security measures, DEFCON-3 increase in force readiness above normal readiness, DEFCON further increase if force readiness but less than maximum readiness, DEFCON-1 maximum force readiness.
how about http://www.NotJustSecurity.in or http://www.NotJustSecurity.co.in ? I know the .com restriction, but then you might want to reconsider that.

Way to go Kalyan! I suggested the names to Sriram!
hey awesome news!
All the best!
Hey Great news man 🙂
Nice to know that you are strating out on your own, and sad becoz the pics won’t come in as fast.
Anyways how is redchains.com?
It would make a nice corp logo, and red is always associated with security and the like.
Take care, and bon voyage.
PS: remeber I still get to do ur business cards and all :p
Good Luck Kalyan and SriramB!
