What’s in a name?

Matt’s wife has finally given birth to a bouncing baby boy (hurrah!). The happy parents have come up with a lovely name, but it reminded me of a news story where I read that a girl has changed her hated name, 'Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii'. It brought to light that previously officials refused permission to name twins Fish and Chips. However, other parents have been allowed to name their offspring Midnight Chardonnay, Number 16 Bus Shelter and there's even a set of twins called Benson and Hedges!

It got me thinking again about names and their importance; this but time it’s domain names. Most company names will easily ‘slot together’ when you remove any spaces, for example Price Pearson becomes pricepearson. Nice, tidy and simple; but have a look at the link below which shows the unfortunate domain names some companies have ended up with!

Unfortunate Domain Names (Please be aware some of these names may cause offence)

So when it comes to domain names… think before you buy!
