Do you own your kid's domain name

shanecleveland 14y ago
I own the .com for my name, and I also purchased the .com for my kids' names. I was also able to get gmail accounts for their names (had to use a middle initial for one.) Do you think these things will have relevance when they may want to utilize these things 10-15 years from now? What other services out there would be important to add?

Yes for all three kids -- their proper names as well as nicknames. I bought the .com addresses. Though I have to wonder, like shanecleveland, whether this will be all that important in a decade or two.

I'm sure Angeline Jolie's kids and my kids will have a similar amount of exposure so the comparison is totally spot on. eyeroll

Seems to me quite likely that by the time the kids are grown, "domain names" will be nothing more than a bit of historical trivia. I wonder if anyone established AOL keywords for their kids back in the 1990s?

Obviously, what you should really do is by the TLD for your family name. </sarcasm>

  My dad did grab our family name many years ago. And it is pretty cool to have first@last.com for an email. ;)

    I have that, too. It is very cool and it's fuuny to watch some people get confused when I give out my address and it's not something they recognize like gmail or yahoo.

Angelina Jolie's birth name: Angelina Jolie Voight (Ironically, I cannot find angelinajolie.com. Searching for "Angelina Jolie official site" pulls up this: http://www.team-jolie.com/ http://www.team-jolie.com/) http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jolie http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jolie Other famous people who had a "stage name": John Cougar Mellencamp John Wayne Julie Numar And countless others. I sometimes think about getting MyfirstnameMymiddlename.com (but then I think that's stupid, so I don't). But I figure if I buy MyfirstnameMyexhusbandslastname.com, I will suddenly remarry.

FWIW your "name".me might be easier and cheaper. I just checked and everyone in my family is available and the price is less than .com
