List your names starting with the word "the"

[Kuffy]

Following the recent sale of TheGoodWord.com for a healthy sum. I wondered how many members own names starting with the word "the". I've tended to avoid them in the past, but I wonder if that sale will start a revaluation of such names.

I've only got one which I reg'd for my partner - TheCountryGarden.com - I was going to turn it into a blog for her, but it never really got started.

Who else has some of these names, and would you consider buying more?

It's much harder to sell the+keyword+keyword, you need very strong keywords. I have some the+keyword, like:
theRaisins
theGosling
theMenthol
theSatin
theQuicker
theillegal
theAdaptor

What a pair - just right for a born again bigot like me.

Only joking - I value everybody's opinions - I just wish some of them would keep them to themselves.

One that we sold a while back was TheVitaminStore.com, so yes, I like many of these types of names. Depends on the name and if you'd refer to it as if it were the only one on the street.

Although today a friend was speaking of his just-completed trip to "the Baton Rouge" and "the New Orleans," and I wasn't sure whether this sounded pretty authoritative -- or like old-man talk.

You know, how when you get old, everything is either "the" or "my"

I should know

Thenichetraffic dot com had some traffic when i bought it but milked it dry by now.

I've just looked up "the country garden" on Google. There seem to be a lot of businesses using the name around the world. Maybe I should put it up for auction, and drop them all an email notification.
In fact there are a lot of businesses using the prefix "the". A pub near me is called The Spread Eagle, and Huge Domains is asking over $3,500 for the .com

I have a few THE, my reasoning is that as there is going to be more and more .somethings or .others
End users will not be comfortable with them yet....
However with a THE something .com or in my case .net .biz etc
endusers will instinctively trust that over a .something they have never seen before.

Thats only my opinion.
