I was just reading the Giantbomb article on wikipedia and the remark about the crew registering 60-70 domains caught my eye. So I checked the source for that claim, an older interview:
 
R: So how did you come up with the name Giant Bomb? 
JG: We went through a lot of different names - probably registered 60 or 70 URLs in the process, just thinking about different things that were in games, and trying to come to some kind of consensus there.
 
 
I wonder what the rejected names were. Does anyone know that? Here are some of my guesses:
 

  • giantboobs
  • wetjoystick
  • perpetualzangief
  • vinnyryanbradjeff
  • pixelgoulash
  • nekkidzelda
  • sausalitosexmaniacs

They said some of the names on an episode of the Bombcast a while back. Some of the suggestions were videogamemountain and something else involving ninjas I believe.

They've talked about it on the bombcast a couple of times. They've mentioned several, but snakesnakesnake.com and videogamemountain.com are the two that I can recall.
 
I believe the main bombcast they talk about it is the 11-25-2008 edition, so give that a listen if you want to hear more.

I remember an arrow pointing down podcast where Ryan was said something like "My advice is don't get drunk and register domain names, that's how you end up with cocainemountain.com"
 
By the way this is cocainemountain.com

Gamemonk and SnakeSnakeSnake (SnakeSnake was taken) were the others, I think.

Page source has Ryan Davis written all over it. Also, using horrible-ass HTML standards, I might add. Though it was generated by another program.

Dissapointing that they haven't done anything with em, but I guess they're too busy now.
