The name YouAks.com
Shorter names are better, even if they make a little less sense. The name YouAks is composed out of the word You and Aks because YouAks provides a platform for you to ask questions online.
The obvious misspelling of the word Aks which is pronounced as 'axe'. It is how the word is sometimes used in American street language, and a common typing mistake which happens when you try to type too fast using two hands. The animated series of Futurama which is set 1000 years into the future also uses this word. This by itself is enough evidence that Aks is cooler than the regular ask. It was regularly also used in Old English at least until the 16th century.
