- Hamuko 6y agoSure, if your name is Mike Google, then you might have better chances at keeping your domain. Probably still not good chances to profit off of it.
- xenonite 6y agoNow this a valid reason to give your kid the surname of a brand. To get rich quick. Too bad that this also limits employment options in the long run (can you imagine Google to work for Amazon?)
- eloisant 6y agoExcept having the name is not enough, you also need to have used it in business already. Happens all the time, as many brand names come from family names and the founder isn't the only person bearing that name.
- Hamuko 6y ago>you also need to have used it in business already. What is this based on? Because surely I have the right to own mylastname.suffix without being a business even if someone decides to make a business that bears my family name.
- debian3 6y agoIt remember me the story of Mike Rowe who named his company Mike Rowe Soft. Here the details: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._MikeRoweSoft https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._MikeRoweSoft
- dirtnugget 6y agoIf it were your middle name then you could have the option to omit when needed.
- angus-prune 6y agoMight be less limiting than you think. There was famously an apple store employee called "Sam Sung" - https://www.cultofmac.com/290116/sam-sung-auctioning-apple-store-shirt-good-cause/ https://www.cultofmac.com/290116/sam-sung-auctioning-apple-s...
- blendergeek 6y agoExcept that isn't cybersquatting. His name is Nissan and he did business as 'Nissan' before Nissan called themselves Nissan in the USA.
- darkwater 6y agoWow, the look of that website made me feel like a teenager again!
