Domain name for the new website
publish I’ve been nonplussed by “warrenpartridge.me” for a while now.
Pain points of warrenpartridge.me
- Too long for my taste.
- Subdomains like “art.” make it even longer, which is an obstacle to Publishing this vault.
- Setting up an email would be gross. “[email protected]” :(
- Tricky to communicate verbally since “Partridge” isn’t easy to spell.
- Zero relationship to my email domain, perdix.org.
- Too formal-sounding.
- Pretty sure it’s registered under my student email with Namecheap.
Misc ideas for a new one
- x.partridge — .com, me, etc — these are all taken
- x.partrid.ge — .ge isn’t a real TLD
- x.wpartridge.com — not very cool and doesn’t solve most of the pain points
- x.perdix.me — eh, idk
- Something fancy with Latin…
The genitive case in Latin indicates ownership, e.g. “GENITIVE_NOUN’s SUBJECT_NOUN” or “SUBJECT_NOUN of GENITIVE_NOUN.” So, with the right cool-sounding genitive noun to use as a domain, I can grammatically imply ownership via “art.GENITIVE_NOUN.com”. Pretty nifty.
My Latin is rusty but I think a similar meaning could be stretched if I use the albative case. So…
5a) x.perdicis.com / x.perdice.com (“partridge”) 5b) x.leporarii.com / x.leporario.com (“warren”, translated rather liberally from ancient French “garenne”) 5c) x.lupo.com / x.lupi.com (“rabbit” which is sorta related to “warren.” But no way I’m getting this domain lol) 5d) x.ludo.com / x.ludi.com (“game” which I think sounds neat but there’s no way I get the domain)
- Something related to the etymology of “warren” which comes from “garenne” / “warenna” (old French / Latin) meaning “enclosed area often inhabited by game.”
Graveyard of other ideas
Nonexistent TLDs:
- Perdi.ce
- Perd.ix
“cogitationes avem” — a bird’s thoughts
With piglatin:
- perdix → erdixpay
- perdice → erdicepay
- perdicis → erdicispay
Decision?
Definitely perdicis.com. I like it even more than partridge.com. Perdicis etymology
And so Perdicis website is born!!
