For personal use, I believe something like emilylastname.com works better than emily.name. even lastnamefamily.com works better that lastname.name.

reg fee (~$25) wholesale, $100 end-user. Good luck!

Not worth the reg fee

One thing you need to remember when registering real names in the .name TLD is that if your name does not match your domain, then someone who does can take that domain from you. In this case, if your name isn't "emily", then any "Emily" in the world can sue to get this name. At this point, I don't know how much it costs to do this, and if the cost is high enough then very few people will do it.

Nice popular name, which obviously suits the extension great. Find an Emily and you have yourself a buyer.

Thanks for that information Apollo, I must look into darren.name now! I hope there isn't anybody called 'Develop'!

Is this right listed in the registry rules? I never heard that. Maybe my nickname is Emily, then wouldn't it be okay?

relevant ICANN policy here:

http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appm-8aug03.htm

In summary, .name is intended for names, so someone who meets eligibility requirements in this respect can challenge your reg if you yourself do not. As far as I know this rule has never been 'tested', so no one knows how it will work out in the real world.

I believe that if your nickname is 'Emily', then you meet the eligibility requirement and can grab emily.name for yourself, assuming the one who has it now isn't eligible.

find an emily and sell it :D

Must be millions of emily's in the world - the take off of .name (when it happens) will raise its value... even now I wouldnt take less than $80.

But the issue with ICANN and the uncertainty surrounding it, I wouldnt pay $10 for this incase of trouble ahead...

Well, that's what I mean. How can someone prove a nickname? And with a million Emilys around the word, all of them can fight for the name for years and years... Doesn't seem enforceable for first names...

Doesn't seem enforceable for first names...

Whether millions or thousands - the actual number won't matter. Its just first come first serve of whoever can provide proof. I imagine proof for first names would be more varied - such as sworn affidavits and pages out of college yearbooks.
