Am I The Only One Who Named a Child This Way?

hehe, only internet marketers would even think such a thing.

A little scary... but prudent nonetheless I guess :lol:

I've been married for over a year, and I am certainly going to look at any names that we may pick for our possible future children to see if the domain name is available :)

Too bad johnrobinson.com isn't available for me! :(

Nope - I hadn't thought about checking it out for my son, but I will now. I like the idea, and I think our names are unique enough that they should be available.

I also checked the domain name first before I convinced my wife of the name Nastassija.

I have also been thinking to book the domain name on my real name, but then I would rarely think to develop something on my domain name. So no worries

Good thing that my name is not popular, so I don't have to worry about it that much.

I checked after my youngest was born, but it wasn't a consideration or thought during the naming process.

i have my name to but i always wanna my surname.

They will probably make you give it to him.

well, thats a litle weird, i dont even have my domain name, how i would buy my children domains? the mine is available, but i dont have my personal blog. in the blog i have, i only talk about technology, etc. not about me. maybe its a good idea!

They will probably make you give it to him. I’ve heard most stars have done that.

I don't own JasonPedersen.com because the domain is already taken. It expires soon... this month actually. Hopefully it won't be renewed and I can sweep it up.

:lol: We couldn't agree on our sons name - so we took all of the mutually acceptable names and picked it out of a hat! Is that bad? 16 years later he's happy with the choice! :)

I must say we all have domain names in our names, my 60 year old mom included! It's a must I say..

Is SallyCow.com still available?

Im sorry thats just wierd, though with a last name like mine every domain is available.

The first 30 to subscribe to my blog and to leave a comment on the last post will enter a draft to pick 6 links that will stay in my blogroll for 6 months! :shock:
DON’T LOSE THIS OPORTUNITY! :wink:

Also, in the following weeks our shop will be online!
:smile:

Very evil! :twisted:

Bought mine back in '99. Always thought it was odd that I didn't think to buy it when I first started buying domains back in '96. Guess I really didn't think about it then, I was on the lookout for the big money doamins like "wallstreet.com". Too bad I never got my hands on those. :wink:

Haha..I never thought about it until you brought it up. Will surely register a domain with my son's name!

I own the domain name for my name. All that's there right now is a blog that I never use anymore now that I started Welcome to the Blogosphere dot com. I was asked "... but .... why?" when I bought TravisHaynes.com.

I don't know what it is, but there's just something so satisfiable about the fact that I can now be Googled.

My surname is pretty unknown outside of Ireland, and even here, it's unusual so I had no worries about what to call my son. I did however register Adamocaoimh.com a few days after the birth just in case!

I didn't get ocaoimh.com, but ocaoimh.ie and a few other tlds were free so I grabbed those instead. Of course, I have donnchaocaoimh.com although I have yet to do anything with it.

Don't have any kids but probably would take that idea into consideration. I mean, who knows if my kid will grow up to be a star!
I own my full name domain. I registered it a long time ago.

John, I had a boy and girl name lined up for my first child and as soon as I knew what sex they were (at the 4-5 month scan when they were in the womb) I reserved the domain name. My son was born a year later and I did the same thing for him when I knew what sex he was.

In true internet style, they started receiving spam before they were born!

Uber geekness :)

:razz: Great idea about the domain name - I got mine a while back (joannapayge.com) Thought it may be relevant to mention that I specialise in helping people choose positive names for their kids, as well as analysing adults names. Have done this for over 8 years with excellent results. It may be of interest to some of you? All the best :lol:

For our kids, no, but for our family name we have several domains: www.malka.com www.malka.fr www.malka.dk www.malka.co.uk www.malka.co.il www.malka.biz www.malka.it www.malka.info www.malkaz.com and probably several, I've forgotten. We couldn't get www.malka.eu which is now used by some pr*ck for spam.

Well; i dont have kids yet so it will be a while before i have to worry about it :cool:

My names Will Smith (William Smith) so I don't own the domain name for it. :(.

hey john,
my daughter also was born 09-09-2006. i will check if my baby domain name is available or not. thanks for the input. :wink:

I Own my .COM - http://santoshP.com

initially I bought it just for mail and secure my online presence.. But later on thought it was good to test wordpress and as of now I am a half dead blogger...

Good one John! Now I'm going to have to register our kids domain names for when they start blogging.

On that note, I've registered my personal domain, gerardmcgarry.com

I didn't register my name because I hate long URL's and simonrodrigues.com is a long URL in my opinion and thats not even my full name. But I don't think my daughter's URL would be taken yet, its quite a unique name.

Simon

Hahaha...I didn't even think of that! Anyway, I would make a subdomain for my child if the domain is not available.

Cute kid, liked the one about the pin and not being asked if your girl is a boy or a girl. I always ask my friends their kids sex when I see them unless I can see them wearing all pink; now when they're in a neutral color then I'm stuck!

My name was registered by someone else early on but they let it go. I snapped it up when I did a periodic check after registering my name with 'jr' at the end and realized that it was available.

Hence, mercedeslopez.com leads to my blog at blogspot or mercedeslopezjr.blogspot.com

Since lopez is such a common name there isn't much of a chance I'll ever get to register a domain for any future kids.

Well, my surname is quite unique, so the chances are that any choice of name wouldn't be registered.

However, some guy has registered rhyswynne.com, so I've had to stick with .co.uk names all my life :(

Not sure if I would consider the domain name when naming any child I may have. But I do have my name as a domain, I had to purchase it from a domain squatter.

I did the checking for my kids, my wife and my own name last year using GoDaddy. Sadly, most of our names were registered by others.

I noticed that those with 3 to 4 alphabet letters are almost impossible to get. Most companies use their short abbreviation as their domain names.

We knew what our kid's name was going to be even before we talked about having kids...it was pretty simple. Never thought about the domain angle though, that's hilarious and yet somehow brilliant.

I haven't registered SpudOregon.com. What's the point? A quick Google search for "Spud Oregon" will find me top every time!

I wouldn't name my child like that but I do own my domain name

Where's the romance?!? :razz:

I can't think of anything worse than growing up to find that the reason you got your name was because you're parents grabbed whatever domain was available at the time.

Shocking! :shock:

I own http://www.geofferson.com and http://www.geoffmarcy.com and I think I will do the same thing for my children as well! Have you had offers from other john chows to buy your domain? At what price (if any) would you sellout your own name?

Sally Chow is soooo cute (just went to the url).

I don't have the url of my real name. I'm not in any hurry to get it - I doubt there's any competition!

John, a REAL internet mogul would have done some keyword research too! :mrgreen:

My last name is 13 letters long. It has two vowels, three z's, and it has a string of 8 consonants in a row. It would be pointless to own it because nobody would ever know how to spell it.

Poland!
