Nameboy has a naming search that generates and looks up domain names. Enter a primary and secondary keyword and then tick if you want the domain name to rhyme or have a hyphen. Nameboy will generate a list of domain names listed under three categories: domain taken (you make an offer or backorder it), domain available (you purchase it) or availability unknown (you can check the availability). Amazing tool!

Domain Name Combination Checker Pick up to 5 words that describe your business, product or service. Type them into the form and click generate. The combinations of words will be placed with and without a hyphen, in all orders, and the registration status of the resulting domains will be tested.

Namebuddy Another combination checker. This time, pick 3 keywords and choose whether you want hyphens. The search engine generates a list of combination of those keywords with their availability status.
