Wordoid: Make Up Your Own Words
Sometimes giving something a name can be the hardest thing in the entire world. Take a look at all the successful business around you and look at their names. They all mean nothing! Esso and Texeco being a few good examples. If you’re starting a blog, website or multinational company having a name that means nothing can be one of your most important assets.
Wordoid does the job for you. It created words that sound natural and roll off the tongue easily but mean absolutely nothing. Think of them as words that could have been.
When you first get to the website, you just fill out the small criteria seen in the screenshot. This includes any actual word or syllable you want in your new word and select what languages you want it to appear natural in. When you continue a list of words will be created. Furthermore, it will tell you if the ‘.com’ and the ‘.net’ variations of the domain are available and how many times that word appears on the internet to gauge its popularity and acceptability.
It’s as easy as that. Once find a word you like you’re finished.
This web app is incredibly easy to use and you’re given results within seconds of entering the site. Next time I’m creating a blog I’ll be using Wordoid.

I understand what you are trying to say, but both Texaco and Esso have meanings:
Texaco = TEXAs COmpany which is a portmanteau. Similar examples include “smog” (smoke + fog) or “brunch” (breakfast + lunch).
Esso = is S.O. ’spelled out’ as a word which is an abbreviation for Standard Oil. A similar example includes “Arby’s” which is “R.B.’s” which is an abbreviation for Raffel Brothers (or Roast Beef).
