hi guys and girls

i decided to build a blog with all my travels pics (i travel a lot)
i also thought against a long domain name such as
vvv.my-travels-photo-blog.com
so i thought about a shorter domain name, however the choice gets more difficult those days

what about the following ones, which do you like, dislike, which would sound best to you for a travelling / photo blog

vvv.inkak.com
vvv.agopa.com
vvv.utela.com
vvv.tutax.com

thanks for your input

If this is your personal blog, wouldn't it be best to just have

[your name][travel].com
[your last name][journey].com
[your first name][trip].com

Mix and match.

hi guys, thanks for replies

well, it's gonna be a travel / photo blog more than a personnal blog. i intend to put the pictures first, the local history first, the what has to be known first, and myself second. that's why i'm not too keen to put my name/surname/whatever in here.

of course, it has not to be a dot com, and it has not to be short domain, however i'd prefer it to be short and dot com, if i find a suitable name.

i came up with those 4, and thought one could sound good.

not being a native english speaker, i'm not sure that having a name ring a bell to me means it's gonna ring a bell to others (blog intended to be in english). So i ask you guys, what you think of those.
My initial favorite was inkak, but apparently english speakers tend to associate it with ink and usually don't really like that name, agopa being usually favored, as Bashar said.

i'd like to increase my spectrum of study and have your thoughts on those domain names. i'm not sure i want to regret picking up a badly chosen domain name 6 months into the project.

thanks for your help

Well, as long as you like it - any domain can be worked on and pushed into something great :)

sure

but your opinion on the suitability of those domain names, agopa, inkak, utela, tutax, for a photo blog, is what i'm looking for right now

i'd like to add a smiley, but being just three posts old does not allow me to do so

too bad
