What to do?

l9hay is available...

Check!

Thats a fair point... in terms of numberplates why did you not buy L3AHY rather than L9 AHY?

Checkmate!

Why bother its like the chicken and the egg.

 

[rjs_essex]

Surely it is abusive its not a generic its a family name they are not leahy and have no rights to it

Do you have the rights to the alphabet then?...

 

[paulleahy]

Check!

l9hay Read before you say Check

Checkmate!

No Checkmate without a Check it was a gift and a cracking plate for my surname

Paul, I'd bow out of this one while the going's good. Look at my surname: Hubbard. Do you think I can lay claim to that?

I want to say hello to my mum on the internet, but someone has registered the domain. What should I do? The person who did register it isn't saying hello to their mum on it, they are just advertising sex toys and things. Isn't this an abusive registration? i want to get it so that I can say hello to my mum. Hopefully I want to get it before anyone else wants to say hello to their mum, and tough luck to them, I say, as they'll never get it off me.

What checkmate i wasnt going buy both you can only drive one car

Well you could put the other on retention. DVLASOM indicates that L3AHY is taken currently so either ;
- it was taken at the time so you went with L9AHY
- it was free at the time, but cost more as its a lower option so you chose not to buy it

Why not apply the same logic to domains?

after google has pushed this leahy post to the top why cant i drs them as rob has pointed out surely they have to show proof otherwise what is an abusive domain

Er, did I !?

I was pointing out that you are throwing accusations about without basis and do not have any insight further than the whois details. The rest is guesswork by you.

*You* have to prove that its abusive , which I think you would struggle to do.

Go buy Leahy.tel, the online equivlent of owning L9 AHY

mxyzptlk and klptzyxm are two rubbish domains -Mxyztplk is just as bad.

Obscure names you can register - try hard. Names with a history - try harder.

I have a trademark name - it is a confection of two factors, easy to spell in England once spoken, and before I registered it I checked that there was no-one in UK registered to vote with the name.

Yea, check that out, said my wife - I just Googled it. So I did, and found a man with the same name. Well, I have the .com, .net, .co.uk and the right to say cease and desist if he gets stroppy.

Wait for Mr Tinpanoik to rear his ugly head ...
