Is registering a personal name trouble?

[silberman]

Is it trouble to register a well-known person's first and last name in, say, .com or another extension? I have read that people have done this and then successfully sold the name. (It could be used for a fan club, etc.)

Thank you.

If it's a famous person's name, you can easily end up in trouble - In my eyes it's also bad style
