This thread is currently number 2 in Google for "choc d'amour".

For a short time my blog had Google Position 1 for phrases like Choc d'Amour and Cocoa Electric, but I've now been well and truly owned by other sites.

I had done the WHOIS for these aswell, wasn't going to register them though, I took a more cunning approach, I realised that the study which Margaret mentioned in the "You're hired" show didn't have its name

Both coco electric and cocoa electric have also been registered.

2 years ago when I was a domain buying addict, I might of considered it, back then if a dog barked and it sounded like a word I would consider reg'ing it, now I just think it's a little sad.

I know the feeling :lol:

Been there, done that and just like Newport - South Wales, i defintely won't be going back

I seriously think when I have kids that part of the naming decision will rest on how cheaply I can get their domain names

 

[matmat is verified member.]

and chances are their middle names will have to be org, just to make things a bit easier.

Do it the easy way with middle names like Mary Elizabeth or Michael Elvis, then you can do .me domains!

LEAVE 123-REG NOW!

You will never win, get a real registrar

I should have pointed this out earlier - "choc" has the meaning "shock" in French. Same word, same pronunciation, different spelling.

So "choc d'amour" would not convey "chocolates" to a Frenchman - "smitten" might be closer to the meaning.


I just found an "inverse" example of this crossed language concept - bought a jar of GranArom coffee in Lidl. Fortunately, it does not smell of "little old lady"!
