Hi there.
I will soon be launching a new site to develop websites.
I was thinking about
my web burrito
web burrito
global burrito
burrito master
Or any name you think with burrito that sounds good.
Thanks all!
Martin

I would caution you that it's unwise to discuss specific domain ideas with random strangers on a forum. The risks are too great that someone would steal the best ideas.

That said, there are many things to think about when choosing a domain name. A good domain name is:
- available!
- easy to understand
- easy to remember
- easy to spell
- easy to pronounce
- distinct enough that people can find it in search
- not too long - but better a longish name than an abbreviation that might be confusing

A few more:
- Would the name remain suitable as your business grows? Or is it too specific?
- Does the name avoid any trademark infringement?
- Are matching names available on social media so you could use a consistent name across your web presence? If yes, that's a big plus.
- Does the name have any undesirable meaning in another language?
- How would the name come across in a spoken context such as a telephone message or podcast? Hyphens can look good but be awkward in a spoken context.
- What about similar names, including different TLDs or misspellings? It can be smart to register predictable typos, "sounds like" names, or different TLDs to redirect to the main site. Example: Insagram.com redirects to Instagram.com

random strangers on a forum

Should I take it personally?

By the way, there are two strategies, to take a name which means what the site is about, and a name which is totally invented, which might get more attention.

Right away, words I would consider could be "factory", or "workshop"

burrito factory
or
my little burrito factory

You can also create composite name with a TLD.
Burri.to
Burrito.li
Burrito.fi
Burrito.it
Burrit.io
Burrito.star
...


The risks are too great that someone would steal the best ideas.

Hurry up! If you don't want Dimitry to steal all these great ideas.

@buckworks, I think Sleepy_eye is smarter than that. My guess is that the plan is really to use Fajita instead of Burrito. Fajit.as

I will soon be launching a new site to develop websites....my web burrito

My feeling is that you're going to get a lot of traffic from people looking for food, not a web developer. That said, the following are my offers:
Burrito Builder
Web Burrito Builder
Burrito Development

From the ones you have listed, I like "web burrito" best.
