Hey guys. So I googled up a bit and came over this thread: "Selling Celebrity Domains" posted on NamePros on 6/9/2018
While I'm far from being some expert in the subject, common sense tells me that registering first names only can't possibly be a matter of cybersquatting.
Now about the first names that I recently registered:
Media worldwide wrote about somebody registering the domain name lilibetdiana.com on the same day Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their daughter. There is an obvious problem with that: .com stands for commercial. Lilibet Diana is not an insurance company, dentist office, repair shop or anything else commercial: it’s a baby name, a personal name.
Thus the only appropriate domain for a baby name is ‘.name’
Wikipedia: “The domain ‘.name’ is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. It is intended for use by individuals for representation of their personal name, nicknames, screen names, pseudonyms, or other types of identification labels.”
VeriSign: "A .name Domain Name Is As Unique As You"
So I registered the only domain names that would make sense to be associated with a baby name:
Now I'm sure that a domain name for a baby is not quite common, so what are your thoughts?
Thanks.
