i think one should utilise his brain to get a good name for his site others can suggest of course but final decision is on yourself or who ever will buy it.I think some tools is there to suggest a domain name but dont know .

I already said in previous post, google labs can be used to suggest domain name.
But run a contest to ask people suggestion is better, because there are people that really good with names.

Running a contest will surely need more cost.
I saw people offering $5 just to get suggestion from other people. I think we can search domain for ourself

running a contest need not be for money every time and maybe we can do this even in free forums and i think this is also one good solution for finding out good domains

Bloggers are all free and you don't have to worry about many things here and by blogging one can really learn a lot about many things which you can implement later on

i think domain name should be related to your blog's content.

I think travel is very unique topic and people searching for different travel spots.and if you can give details spot location and how to journey to the palce and hotel facility your site will be very popular.

Travel blog is a unique blog and i also agree, and it will also have unique visitors and so getting more traffic here is much more difficult for sure
