While I can't help you much with an actual suggestion for a new name, I would suggest that you think of something that is simple, descriptive (or catchy) and easy to spell.

There is nothing wrong with going for an English or international name for your site, but since your audience would primarily be Danish players, you will have to make sure that the name of your site also sounds "natural" to a Dane besides sounding cool.

Let's hypothetically say that you decided to name your site WoWJuex.dk (one of the names in your list above). As a Dane I find that name "unnatural" since the word "Juex" has a sound that is too different from the sound of pretty much all words in the Danish language. The sound of French is very different from the Sound of Danish, and since most Danes are not that affluent in French, they would have trouble both pronouncing and spelling that word correctly. An example of a good name, to a Dane at least, is WoW.gaming.dk (which is the name of the Danish fansite we recently welcomed into the fansite program). As a Dane, I find that name easy to remember as it is both simple, descriptive and easy to spell, which I guess can be contributed to the fact that English is fairly widespread in Denmark since the language is common in the media and also taught as a mandatory subject in Danish schools.

Q u o t e:
And since it's a Danish site, why don't take a Danish name?


Not a bad suggestion imo ;-)
