Baby Brangelina's Domain
Suddenly, keeping up with the Jones means more than it used to, especially when it comes to naming your kids. When I was born, for instance, my parents went with Anne because it was at the beginning of the name book. No longer can parents rely on such simple reasoning.You've got Apple, Brooklyn, Paris, Hazel, and Dweezle. The explanation behind these weird celeb names is simple. All of the good domain names have been taken.
Take the spawn of Brangelina -- young Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. Even before the little bundle of paparazzi-joy arrived, the happy parents had been busily laying claim to at least 17 domain names, each featuring a various configuration of the wee-Jolie-Pitt's already strange moniker.
Certainly, trends come and trends go. But until this trend flies south, you can just forget about the silver spoon from Tiffany's, and you can forget about the diamond encrusted pacifier from itsmybinky.com (see Deidre's post).
If you want to keep up with the Jones, then the best gift you can buy that baby comes from GoDaddy.com.

It might be a nice gesture --

You make a very, very good point here. Very funny and very astute.

I wouldn't hand it over. Perhaps they'll start buying up domain names. I'm sort of hoping someone comes along with an offer for http://www.brangelina.us.
I guess this means that there will be a market in figuring out celebrities babies names and registering domain names for them...
