Efty.com rebrands to Bob.com

“It’s true. Efty always sounded like someone with a lisp trying to pronounce Etsy, so why not change to a LLL .com domain? BOB .com is perfect, and we have plans for a bot named Bob to handle all transactions. Yes, it will be on the blockchain!”

Anyone have one available for under 20k.. CVC.. and pronounceable!

I think ROB would be more appropriate for GoDaddy.

People would have spread it without reading properly, so I thought of making it clear before it got out of hand

I'm heartbroken. I thought that it was true that Efty were rebranding to Bob!!! And well, it would have made me feel proud . Not to mention I would have lobbied to be their spokesperson in Canada, or mascot or something.
Bob (thinking now of changing my name to Efty)

Admittedly, when i visit GD, i type in god and let autocorrect in the browser pump out the full address so i hit enter. i can see GD picked their name well for the future :P

“It’s true. Efty always sounded like someone with a lisp trying to pronounce Etsy..."

Always sounds a bit like "iffy" to me, or lefty, or nifty, or FT. Never much liked that name.

The new name suggests a good verb for domain selling, to bobbit, but that already has a meaning and suggests cut prices. Maybe bobbit will be their in-house cryptocurrency.

"Wow, I'm gonna bobbit my adult names..."

Right now BOB redirects to a Chinese type of website, I wonder if they acquired it or still in pending.
I am amazed that more and more companies are using what appears to be human first names, take a look at DAN, now BOB.
