question Have I just done something wrong?

[DrJacoby]

Earlier today I bought a [First + Last Name].com with around 40 people on Facebook having that exact name.

Then I started thinking; did I just do something wrong? Could I get sued if I tried to sell it? Are there any other risks? Am I doing something immoral?

The name is not trademarked, and there are no celebrities with that name.

According to Wikipedia, cybersquatting is defined as:

"Cybersquatting (also known as domain squatting), according to the United States federal law known as the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, is registering, trafficking in, or using an Internet domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else."​

Since the name is not trademarked, it seems I'm at least not guilty of cybersquatting.

Would appreciate any advice you can give me on how to proceed.

The more people that have the name the less likely to be sued and the more likely to sell,if you buy the domain with free privacy how is anyone gonna know who is selling it anyway maybe johnsmith is retiring and wants to sell his .com name to someone who was not smart enough to register it b4 him, a name a name I sold a celebrity name I bought on ebay for .99 cents for 5 grand and there was only one person with that name

I sold a real name domain for good money but not even to the celebrity whose name it was.

I love that musical.

Have I done something wrong? On the contrary. I called you here because our odds are beyond scary...
