Thats actually a good idea, even using a letter in the websites name will probably work fine. Do you think the systematic crackers are thorough enough to crunch though the extra combinations that allows for? I would think there were enough easy targets that it would just keep things simple. Or say something a little more complicate like if my password is ABC123 for hubski it might be ABC123K (Iterate the first letter of the the website by 3 as the last letter). If the pattern gets too complicate you have issues solving it in a quick period of time. You could for example add 'h' onto all the letters of your password but then you would have to do more letter math thats kind of slow and annoying.
