Ask HN: get*.com and *app.com domain names

I agree - productxapp.com is probably best second choice after productx.com for an app name/domain combo, especially consumer apps. And make _sure_ that an existing productx.com service and domain are so different from yours in focus, there is no confusion for consumers who type productx.com by mistake, they know to keep looking for you. Also check US trademark and existing apps to make sure you can trademark it, else if you are successful you may find folks trying to clone variations of your name, or worse claiming your app name on different (android / windows mobile /...) app store if you just start with Apple, for example.

That's a rich person's problem, along the same lines as "You might get a headache from all the expensive tequila you sip as you relax on the beach with millions of dollars in the bank." I'm not sure it's actually profitable to worry about this even in the long run, and certainly not before you even launch. As long as "getX.com" works for marketing purposes, it's better than choosing something weird and unpronounceable.

Except that Dropbox needed to spend _a lot_ of money to get the .com domain.
