About Moniker Merchant

Moniker Merchant is a tiny, focused domain studio run by naming strategist and domain merchant Robin Mercer, specializing in sharp .com names for emerging tech, creators, and modern brands.

Curated, not crowded. Every name is hand-picked, not mass-registered, so the portfolio stays small and intentional.
Built for launch and exit. Names are chosen to work on day one, in pitch decks, and in potential acquisition conversations.
Story first. Each domain comes with a positioning angle you can turn into copy, campaigns, and creative direction.

Curated by Robin Mercer — naming strategist and domain merchant focused on signals, not speculation.

My Naming Philosophy

Great names aren’t accidents — they’re signals. They tell buyers, investors, and algorithms what a brand stands for before a single product ships. Moniker Merchant exists to curate names that do exactly that.

Curated Premium Domains

I keep the portfolio small on purpose — every name is hand-selected for clarity, memorability, and the ability to support a real, durable business.

Clarity & Direction

Names should orient people instantly. I favor words and structures that signal category, promise, or motion the moment someone reads them.

Launch-Ready, Exit-Aware

Each domain is chosen to feel credible on day one — and to look right in investor decks, PR, and a potential acquisition announcement later.

Brand Architecture Friendly

Good names leave room to grow. I look for language that can stretch to product lines, sub-brands, and future pivots without breaking.

Sound, Rhythm & Recall

Strong names live in the ear as much as on the page. I pay attention to rhythm, syllable count, and how quickly a name sticks after a single read.

Clean History & Practical Fit

I avoid names with obvious baggage. I watch for spelling friction, misreadings, and surface-level conflicts so you can move faster once you buy.
