We must not continue using the trademark in our name so you are invited to brainstorm ideas for a new name for this community.
Put down your ideas and in a few days, we will choose a few that stand out and discuss them, then vote!
All domain names checked for availability
fmcodedev.com
fmcodeshare.com
fmdiscourse.com
fmdiscuss.com
fmsupportforum.com
fmdevtalk.com
I am partial to the last one 
Of course, if you want to step out of the .com, into the world of the variety of new TLDs, the options grow exponentially.
sharingFM.dev
fmsharing.dev
fmdevs.online
fmsupport.software
fmpros.support
fmpro.tech
fmpro.technology
The options with the new TLDs are extensive. And as you can see from by short list of domain names, âFMâ is the prevalent attribute. But, that is just me. Have fun!!!
This is from a old list of mine back when I was trying to find a name for a blog. So some entries may not qualify for this community. Also, I did not check for availability or compliance with any official guidelines from FileMaker. I am not going for quality here, just quantity as it may give others ideas also. Those are not all actual suggestions, otherwise I would have filtered the list way more. The parenthesis is just random stuff in my head, not part of the name itself.

depends on whom this forum should reach
- fm developers
- developers with other background (that would be âcodedevââŚ)
- enthusiasts
- first-timers, newbies
- users with some experience
writing those lines⌠I prefer fmdevtalk
While I am not a fan of the wip (workplace innovation platform)âŚ
-
fminnovation
-
fmworkplace
-
fmworkspace
-
fmWok (the Chinese pan)
the following 3 are problematic because of the radio-stations
- fmGuide (all of the three problematic because of the radio-stations)
- fmFinder
- fmHelpDesk

Itâs nice when the site name is explicit. Here are a few suggestions:
FMNation
FMSociety
FMCooperative
FMFriendly
FMHub
Another thing that will be important: the proper keywords need to be set for crawling engines to index us properly.
Wow, I just discovered a new super functionality with Discourse. I started writing my reply to this thread but forgot clicking Reply - and forgot I forgot. A few minutes ago I came back and my unsent post was there waiting for me. Thatâs fantastic !
âthe proper keywords âŚâ
A few years back a small company named Indeeo created this awesome and inepensive MacOS / iOS vector drawing tool called iDraw. Great name and uniquely searchable.
A couple years ago, Autodesk (of AutoCAD fame), bought them and renamed the product âGraphicâ. Now that is a great name too, BUT, and this is a big BUT, the name is generic and impossible to UNIQUELY find in a keyword search. Now an organization called Picta owns it, but the âkeyword searchâ I suspect has been a culprit in less than stellar sales for a stellar product.
There is a large cosmetics company named âHERâ - same issue. The product marketing people must be ignorant of search engines.

This is really important. Besides a naming avoids conflicting with trademarks, it should yield results in searches. Meta tags are really helpful things.

Indeed. When I did the 70 hours internet booth camp, an entire day was spent on techniques to use analytic tools to name a site to achieve the best results on Google search!

Gosh,
Since our goal is not specifically sell FileMaker, but as a side if we drag more customers toward FileMaker that's nice - the address should state that is's a forum for FileMaker, or at least be easy to remember, and the mission would be to support the developers, weather citizens or pro.
I must ass that since it's an independent forum, it may evolution may add new avenues.
I like having some reference to FileMaker, hence keeping FM somewhere is my preference. Also, since we mainly just chat about FileMaker, maybe we can keep it simple and call it fmchat?
These are available, it seems:
fmchat.community
fmchat.net
fmchat.online
fmchat.org
fmchat.tech
fmchat.tips
fmchat.today
fmchat.wtf
fmchat.zone
Sure âFMâ should be part of the name . @planteg just pointed at it as well.
A forum dedicated to people who use FM in creative ways and who exchange their ideas and ways of doing development work, could rightly be named âFMExchangeâ.
FMExchange is my hat thrown in the baby name arena

I like it a lot. A search on google led to FM Exchange (took me a while to figure out that it represents Facilities Management Exchange lol) though.
