I or E before a name?

just wondering why some have an E or I before a domain?

just for example "ILOAN or ELOAN"

if you couldnt have the name you wanted but it was available with an e or i is it worth getting?

"I" as in Internet
"E" as is Electronic or E-Commerce

Some have sold for good money but I'm not sure they are generally valuable.

except in sheila's wheels :P

There are a handful of words like sheila that e goes before i, I can't remember them tho

I think some of them are more Brandable rather than Valuable, some recent nice ones that may have dropped now was like iLondon.

I have 2 where I have branded the I as interactive rather than internet

If you can't reg the generic, then you still want the domain as short as possible, and e and i before are half decent. My own one is etraveldeals.co.uk. I also think they're quite brandable.
