Yeah, Gwyneth Paltrow as front page news is fading as other more timely topics encroach (Letterman’s exit, Lorde embracing her flaws, or that couple banned from naming their son “WikiLeaks”).
But still she’s on my mind. Or at least her website, Goop.com, is. How did it get such a silly name?
I’m guessing it’s either this, or that Gwyneth simply put some repeating vowels in between her first and last initials.
So à la Slate’s Travoltify your Name or its Relationship Status Generator, I offer you this low tech way to Gwynify your own personal website in five easy steps
- Determine your first and last initials
- Choose a vowel: a, e, i, o, u or even a y.
- Double your chosen vowel: aa, ee, ii, oo, uu, or even yy.
- Place the doubled vowels in between your first and last initial.
- Add .com. Or .net if you’re feeling edgy.
Example: I’m Lori Holden. I choose “u.” I’m not that edgy. Therefore, my own personal Gwynified website would be LUUH.com.

I’m either going to be:
Maaf Problem
or
Where’s the Meef?
I love Maaf.
Always been pretty good at it.
I’m going with TAAM.net. Because it’s ridiculous. And I’m edgy. Hahaha
Perfect! And edgy.
Hmmm….
1st initial M
last initial S
I could be Mees! Moos! Muus! Maas! Miis! Myys??- none of these seem too flattering!
I kinda like Maas. How about MAAS.me? Maybe Taco Bell would buy it from you for an ad campaign.
I’m LOOJ.me (Pronounced like that cool Olympic winter sport!!)
PS You look like Demi in the pic next to GP.
LOOJ is awesome — and thanks for the compliment!
I think I may be Kook so not happening.
That’s one I hadn’t foreseen….
I’m a rebel and like the “y” as a vowel, so mine would be Ryyc.net. I’m not so sure I’m edgy, I just like .net. 🙂
RYYC.net is FABULOUS, you edgy rebel. (I think you’re edgy).
Mine are HS so the only thing that makes sense to me is HOUSE. I don’t want HISS or HEES. Yuk. I’m trying to be a homemaker so maybe that will suit me.
HOUSE it is then. Special dispensation — two different vowels are okay, too!
You know, it doesn’t really work when your first name begins with a vowel.
Maybe it kinda sorta does….if you don’t mind sounding a little drunk-ish.
Or like you’re falling off a cliff.
I’m definitely BEEP.com (the B is from my childhood nickname… and “Beep” is actually what my husband calls me…)
BEEP is very cool. BOOP could be an option, as well.
What do you think: CAAL (no, too close to college football) CEEL (no, too “pop star”), CIIL (no, the i and the l would get confused — the whole lowercase uppercase conundrum), COOL.me (can I even do that?), CUUL.me (has potential…maybe made exotic by an ü ), CYYL (no, looks like a drug – with unpleasant side effects. Gee, I hope that’s not me).
Definitely COOL.me.
(I forgot to offer .me, but that would make yours super edgy. And indubitably cool.)
The problem lies with having a C at the end. I use CAC as my initials, but the end C cries out for a K and then it sounds like the noise a hen makes. there’s no good choice here.
Saaf.org
As in SaaF the Whales or SaaF whatever you think needs saafing.
Oh, I like this game, but I’m not sure anything makes CJ work. CAAJ CEEJ CIIJ COOJ CUUJ. Nah. I got nothing.
Dyyt.ca
Hmm . . . I like it! Can I be world famous now?
