Picking Baby Names Based On The Availability Of The Dot Com

There are some really cool tools out there for people trying to come up with baby names, but apparently some parents are now mostly concerned about what names will have a URL available, so they can register it well before the kid is ever going to use it. This isn't too surprising as a sign of the times, but it does make you wonder if there will be fewer and fewer of stories like the one found recently in the Washington Post of a guy who tried to find all the people around the world who shared his name. Given the combination of a more global communications system and the desire to have a place of your own online, the quest for truly unique names may become even more important.

GoDaddy didn\’t get all TLDs

GoDaddy didn\’t get all TLDs art

A previous client\'s webmaster contacted me this week ... the client\'s Registerfly domain (.net) expired last weekend. For some reason, it was NOT aquired when GoDaddy paid off Medina. GoDaddy support had no explanation ... they just said sorry ... eNom has some of the Registerfly domains. This domain was originally registered for five years starting Aug2001 ... renewed in Aug2006 for another year at Registerfly. After expiring last weekend, the domain /whois showed eNom as the registrar, and ALL ownership and contact info had been replaced to indicate that Registerfly owned and controlled the domain name. I\'ve provided Registerfly screenshots and proof of ID to eNom ... their new support organization seems to indicate that the domain will be put into the new eNom account that I had to create for the former client ... heavy sigh I thought I was DONE with this crapola! But this indicates that problems will be ongoing for many-many Registerfly customers, as their domains reach expiration ... And it indicates that the GoDaddy so-called *solution* is really no solution at all ... I\'ll update this post when I find out how much eNom is really going to help. UPDATE Aug16 ... eNom support performed perfectly! The domain was pushed into the new eNom account, and it has been successfully renewed. I\'m amazed and gratified. I wish that had happened so easily a few months ago with my own domains that eNom wasn\'t quite so helpful in rescuing from Registerfly. This does demonstrate progress and some hope, though. I don\'t suppose I\'ll ever know why eNom retained this domain ... why it didn\'t go over to GoDaddy last May. I\'ve asked ... and if anyone explains it to me, I\'ll update this post again.
