I wondered why he didn't trademark his kids names as opposed to creating multiple Twitter, Google+, and web site domains in their names. (I suspected it was either very expensive to do so or very expensive to hire a lawyer to do it.)apple_of_soddom wrote:http://beaniecat.blogspot.com/2012/02/b ... -ivys.html

Multiple Blue Ivy Domain Names Registered; None Owned by Jay-Z and Beyonce
With news today that Jay-Z and Beyonce have filed an application to trademark Blue Ivy's name, brokencool thought it would take a look to see if Jay-Z and Beyonce had locked down Blue Ivy domain names...they haven't.
According to TheDomains, several Blue Ivy oriented domain names were registered days following the celebrity newborns birth and none are owned by Jay-Z and Beyonce. These domains are:
BlueIvyCarter.com (Registered January 8th, 2012)
BlueIvyCarter.net (Registered January 8th, 2012)
BlueIvyCarter.me (Registered January 13th, 2012)
And oh yes, BlueIvyCarter.xxx (Registered January 11th, 2012)
An interesting note. The domain name BlueIvy.com was registered back in 1999. Dear person that owns this, it was worth the weight! You finally have some sort of use for your domain.
You would imagine Jay-Z and Beyonce might send their legal teams at these folks and try and scoop the domains away.

Ok here is my next question:
Could Jay-Z and Beyonce have avoided all this if a common name had been chosen; like Anne Marie Carter? Sometimes being common versus unique has it's advantages.
Anyone else experiencing a bunch of error messages lately on MS?
