All right! After many months of discussions, brainstorming, legal and trademark research and negotiations, we finally have the domain name for our new venture - dodo.com
We thought about thousands of different domain name options – animals, places, straightforward generic domain names, new name creations and many others. (See the pictures for just a few of our brainstorming ideas.)
The dodo.com idea was actually just a joke made by Axel when he said “How about dodo.com”? We both laughed, but we soon came up with tons of ideas on how to use the dodo bird for some really funny marketing campaigns.
In a nutshell, here are our reasons for taking Dodo.com:
- It’s short.
- It’s easy to remember.
- It’s hard to misspell.
- Most people have some kind of association with it.
- We often heard people talk about the dodo and why it is extinct.
- The dodo is friendly.
- The word dodo is the same all around the world.
So after many weeks of thought we decided on dodo.com, and just a few weeks later we came to an agreement with the prior owner, so here we go! Say hello to the new dodo.com travel community!

Dodo is also a Nigerian dish. And the nickname of a friend of mine. It is omnipresent indeed. Go DODO!
