Please help me to decide which domain name to use?
xyloFUN

The last few days have been very exciting for me becaus I was able to go from idea to reality, having a playable demo on my iPad!
Now, I need to decide on which domain name to use???
xyloFUN is my favorite but many people do not connect the xylophone instrument and thus the play on words "xylophone fun".
LittleComposers is memorable and cute. I have many pictures of my students which were taken over the years. What might be tricky is to get a TM (trademark) on that name because the words are so generic (unlike xyloFUN which is made up/invented)
Last, creative children compose music is the name of the method I teach! I've created the method from scratch because a few years ago, I had to teach a three year old so notes were of no use.
The instruments are not the main application but I do those to gain experience so that I can release the actual method next year!
Please tell me which name you would prefer and if one gets more attention than the others, I will know which way to go!
Thanks guys

By "nab" do you mean register? If so, that's already done but the domains are not functional because I have moved to a faster host. My previous host was a disaster and I could not risk having apps in the app store with a non working/slow loading URL!
Speaking of URL ....
I don't have the pro version (will get it if my game(s) are selling) so can I include a URL in the "how to play" text which will be part of my app or is that a no-no?
But I like both for different reasons!
xylofun I've used for about 5 years, littlecomposers i've reserved about a year ago together with creative ....
the long name is good for search engines as it is the name of the method i'm using. But I agree, it is WAY to long for practical use.
I'm getting more voters than the Canadian Prime Minister during the last re election
(only funny for Canadians)
The "green" party is winning
I have all xyloFUN ones (com org net) and littlecpmposers.co net as well!
I think I will make LittleComposers.com the main name and have all others point to them!
I saw a marketing specialist the other day and he educated me about "market first" so I have a few other things to complete before I send the app to apple!
One thing that amazed me was his recommendation to describe my app on paper, including hand drawn screen layouts and send tem to myself via the post office!
It was very educational to listen to what he had to say
(my kids are screwed)
