Found this and found it pretty funny.

Attn: Entrepreneurs
Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is
www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
www.gotahoe.com

I've actually seen some of those. But funniest IMO are the odd names. like Oral Sexton, who used to live in our town in IL. Although he died a few years after we moved there, his number was still in the phone book last time I looked, about a year ago.

As a domainer these names are infamous in my circle. Penisland.net happens to be my all time favorite faux pas.

In centuries past, I person derived their last name from their occupation.

Cartwright - wagon maker.
Smith - some sort of smithy.



Then we get to John HANDcock... what are we to make of that?



So, what's in a name?

Norman Schwartzkopf = Norman Blackhead
Albert Einstein = Albert One Mug :ponder:
