Client brief
** PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR NEW INFORMATION: New website for new crime fiction author. I'm told it's best to include my name in the domain. My last name is Sugar and my married name is Gold, but not sure I like the two of them together. I'm an attorney who is writing a legal thriller and need to set up a website/blog, brand/platform -before published. I'm looking for something to make my name as a crime fiction author stand out. Something catchy, but not cheesy. My name is Melissa Sugar or Melissa Sugar-Gold
There are some really good ideas so far, for me to consider. I wanted to add that it is important for me to do one of two things: (1) Use my last name Sugar, or SugarGold as my brand. I would like for my last name to identify me as an author or author and attorney (but the main purpose of the website/blog is my writing, not law practice). It is a bonus if you can combine my name with something that not only identifies me as an author, but a crime fiction author, legal thrillers, thrillers, Suspense, Mystery, etc. (2) If Sugar or SugarGold cannot be used as my brand then I am looking for something short, unique and catchy that identifies the website/blog's primary function: Crime Fiction, or Crime Fiction Resource for Writers.
For example, there is a very popular website/blog titled TheWritersForensicsBlog; ForensicsforWriters. Some other examples of popular writer/author website/blogs that DO NOT INCLUDE THE author's name, that I like are: TheRapSheet CrimeDossier TheKillZone MysteryWritingisMurder CrimeThrillerGirl CrimeAlwaysPays InReferenceToMurder
I considered SouthernFriedHomicide, but don't know if I can use that because of the television series.

Naming tips for Crime Fiction Author Website/Blog
Keep it pronounceable
A good business name should be easy to say out loud and spell from memory. If you have to spell it out every time you say it, it will slow down word-of-mouth growth.
.com still beats clever TLDs
Despite hundreds of new extensions, .com remains the most trusted TLD for professional brands. Customers default to typing .com - pick a .com name whenever possible.
Avoid trademark traps
Before you register, run a quick trademark search to make sure the name is clear in your industry. Similar names in the same category can lead to costly disputes later.
Test it in a sentence
Say "I work at [name]" or "Check us out at [name].com" out loud. The name should sound natural, confident, and memorable in everyday conversation.
