Ask HN: What you think of the domain name I choose?

I'm launching a SaaS oriented for writers. What you think of the domain name I choose for it?

I'm asking it here on HN because, in Brazil, it makes total sense and is a pretty cool name but, as my target market is the world, I'm not sure how it will do.

So, what are your thoughts? Would you use a service wich the name you don't understand. Should I really use [.org]? Any constructive advise?

It doesnt feel right, get a different name that ends in .com if not .co that people can work out how to say

I don't think it means anything in English. But maybe writers (your target market) find names with non-obvious or hidden meanings appealing? Ask them, not us.

Wow, that was rude =p... I'm pretty sure there are lots of writers (technical, fiction, etc) here on HN. I already bought some books of writers I've met here. But thanks anyway.

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude. But I think you will get more useful feedback if you ask your question in a forum that is primarily for writers, rather than in a forum that is primarily for IT/business people. (Unless your site is aimed at IT/business writers?)

.org is for organizations. Try to get .com rabiscaria seems ok to me, I can not make any relation between the word "rabiscaria" and what u planning to do.

Thanks! Rabiscaria is a derivative of the verb "rabiscar" wich is something like "to scribble" in english.
