gotta wonder if any inspired by Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's 12, Ocean's 13

WhatsName

Tried to register sixsevenlabs, too late unfortunately...

There's always some kind of popular dumb naming scheme. I remember when it was prefixing "Zen-" to your startup. Some things never change

What I’m seeing is there are 29 available startup names just waiting…

Finally, a periodic table of labs

Hitchhiker: You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs? Ted: Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the exercise video. Hitchhiker: Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Abs. Ted: Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you're going. Hitchhiker: Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man? Ted: I would go for the 7. Hitchhiker: Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk. Ted: You guarantee it? That's - how do you do that? Hitchhiker: If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B". Ted: That's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you're in trouble, huh? [Hitchhiker convulses] Hitchhiker: No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel. Ted: That - good point. Hitchhiker: 7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office. Ted: Why? Hitchhiker: 'Cause you're fuckin' fired!

buying up all domains right now, thanks for making me rich

I did myself try a few increments above 11 once, but this takes it to the next level. Quality stuff.

I see someone is implementing FizzBuzz in “startup funding rounds”.

Three score and ten labs

All those cool domain names are gone now - the power of the hn frontpage!

Barbing

Hugged I think, no archives (org/today).

marssaxman

I used to work for a startup called 1026 Labs!

HN Hug of death

Ironically (or maybe unironically?) I just started working with a friends company called fifteenlabs lol. Still pretty new.

OutOfHere

Fwiw, ElevenLabs doesn't even make any sense as a firm, considering its TTS offering is extremely overpriced by an absurdly large factor. A large user would be far better off using local models. Even the OpenAI TTS is cheaper. There is no moat here such as with hardware.

A long time ago I used "23 Labs" as a funny name relative to my username. Fast forward many years and I considered actually using it. Apparently "[Number] Labs" is a very popular idea now... Oh well

no_no_no_yes

Wow, haha I just created an LLC that is a "<number> Labs" company. I don't plan on raising VC or anything public with it, it's just a name to release apps on the app store under. I was trying to come up with a name and it was exhausting, everything was taken, I was trying "clever names", eventually after strategizing with ChatGPT it gave me the suggestion along the lines of: "Many people just use their initials, birthdate, or area code, plus the word 'software', 'tech', or 'labs'" And I went ahead with that and called it a day!
