Now we just need this for Twitter usernames.
Erik Torenberg
Baron Torenberg is the name of my future son. middle name Leslie (i'm a satanist) so his initials will be B.L.T. (Again, I'm a satanist). @karenxchang what's the most fascinating thing you experienced this weekend while building this?

A few learnings: @eriktorenberg - There aren't that many common names! We used a baby name list of 2014's most common names. Once you're out of the top 300 or so, the names start looking unusual. Our database has 3,000 each boy names and girl names. - Looking up bulk domains through other services (like Dynadot, GoDaddy etc) is extremely slow, so my co-founder @Finbarr found a way to mass ping the Google DNS instead. It took some tweaking for us to be able to look up many domains quickly

Haha thanks. We're still tweaking the algorithm to show you less obscure first names (especially if you have a unique last name).

Free idea: Connect with nCog (http://www.producthunt.com/posts... ) and tell me who to marry based on the wedding domain available
