question What's up with domain names actually made from a name example Albert.com , Sarah.com ...

ImperiousDon · Sep 18, 2018

Do you think they are worthy?

NYJimbo · Sep 18, 2018

Yes, big money now. Some people are naming their kids based on available domain names.

I almost bought Tihanna.com the other day, but someone beat me to it.

Sold wess dot org few days back to Mr. <First-name> Wess

Buying common and popular first/last names increases the likely hood of selling fast.
IMO

Thanks

They are worth a lot, in general, the more popular the name, the more its worth

a couple of examples

Tom.com
2,500,000 USD (way back in 1999)

Jasmin.com
310,250 USD (way back in 2006)

I have 1 first name in .com. Its not a popular one, though. It was first registered in 2001.

I have a bunch of first names. Some .com, some my country cctld.

I started acquiring names that are on my wife's babyname shortlist about 14 years ago as soon as we got serious about our relationship

Some came with a hefty pricetag, some I was able to get for cheap. Mind you most were acquired over 10 years ago.

Anyway, yeah they're valuable, especially when it's a very common name.

Are they common english first names? They are super premium names if they are common fist names. Do you mind showing us what you have?

One is a common English name. Payed about 6k for it at the time I think. The others are less common worldwide but kinda common Dutch names.

As for sharing, I'd rather not as I keep them all private. They won't be for sale, or listed anywhere as they're currently all registered in my daughter's name and I respect her privacy.

Worth big money, no one selling them on the cheap.

That's why we named our daughter dghsushdhsgeg. It was very important we got her the .com haha

On a serious note, we named her Isla and the last time i inquired about the price for isla.com it was $390,000 which was slightly above my budget

LarryDomain · Sep 20, 2018

i couldn't get a response from the people who owned my two kids .com version of their names.. lucky i named them after names i already had in .ME extension so it'll be okay. I did get an offer for 10k on one of their .ME name.. but the 3 year old said no.. and the older one said you better not dad...

haha.. kids know value and money is nothing to them

Yep. Sounds like a great name for a beauty salon or cosmetic line.

I hope so!

I've got a few from low xxxx to mid xxxx. Actually had one of my own names back in the day (couple decades ago almost) and can't bring myself to consider the current value or to enter it into my browser to see what it resolves to. (probably owned by some tech giant!)

Nahdism · Nov 17, 2018

I have in king
Tegnelia
Stronski
Landemoo

They are aged polish names/surnames

I contacted a few parties that have these names.

Most of them didn't replied.
1-2 of them said they weren't interested!!!!
I mean, why? How could someone not want their own name in a .com??????

Why??? Just WHY????
