Crazy for normajean.com

[spikedo]

normajean.com - what a great domain name! Pool.com got it and I'm one of the bidders. It's beyond my price now - currently at $1,400 with 16 bids in first 12 hours. Crazy! I wonder how much it will ultimately fetch. Any guesses?

I don't get it. Why is that a great domain name?

 

[cyberserf]

It's a common rural name for women. It's also the name of a popular country song and is just all around common.

what is that language?

Norma Jean was Marilyn Monroe's name ...

Right. Makes me feel old realizing that not many here know who Norma Jean is. Anyway, as Marilyn Monroe, she was the most desired woman of her time.

LOL @ Anthony, cyber. You guys must be part of the younger generation. Now I feel old like Armstrong. Geriatrics, here I come!

I also had no idea what this domain meant!

It sounds silly to me.

Ofcourse, it would be a great name in its own country.
If its really famous name, it would have a lots of typo error.

I first read it as nomorejean.com(at the first blink)

B.O.L

Its a famous name worldwide, at least for some generations. If google entries are indicative of fame, then:

67,700 for "lady diana"
97,800 for "Jacqueline Kennedy"
121,000 for "helen of troy"
151,000 for "Grace Kelly"
157,000 for "norma jean"
740,000 for "elizabeth taylor"
1,250,000 for "marilyn monroe" (norma jean's screen name)

She even has her own popular song song by Elton John called "Goodbye Norma Jean". Goodbye indeed.

Yeah, at least by her real name, right? Should I be excited if I pick up ReginaldDwight.com then?

(That's Elton John's real name...)

How much did the name end at??
I personally would have ignored this name even if I have sufficient fund because I belong to the younger generation, so I don't really know what it means, haha!

Was at $1700+ last time I saw. Lost of bidding probably in last hour so it could be much higher.
