A few Japanese names for appraisal

[Alphamale]

セーラー服.com sailor uniform (traditional japanese schoolgirl uniform)

メトロ.com metro

鮎.com sweetfish (freshwater trout)

ウルトラ.com ultra

共有.com share; joint ownership; co-ownership


any thoughts or comments on these are appreciated.

My personal view is that

メトロ.com metro
ウルトラ.com ultra

are the most valuable. Not because they are strong Generics but because of their brandability, which is something that the current market totally discounts. They are excellent because they are effectively Generic Brandables. Probably very difficult to sell but probably worth 6 figures later (and not Yen!).

thanks for the feedback RD.

I would be interested on opinions of the other two.

The Japanese school girl uniform.. hmmm maybe the porn-king Sarcle has some thoughts on this one.. lol

and the trout.. I know the Japanese are big into their Koi, I don't know whether this interest extends to Trout as well? and being a single char... I don't know.

... anyway all opinions welcome. thx guys.

Ultra is brandable solely because of its use in Ultraman television series and movies which date back 40 years. Every Japanese knows Ultraman and Ultra 7 in particular. He was badass.

I do think it's probably generic enough by itself and a good reg.

Without the "man" it's a little strange to say though...

lol. excellent video.

but i guess that ultraman would have been a TM anyway.

i did notice though the the .JP of ultra was registered back in 2001 by a native. At the time he obviously made a conscious decision not to reg the .com; this I think gives more weight to the arguement of the value of .JP vs .com

For someone to have renewed this domain for the last five years in this way requires a lot of faith, but I am sure he will be proven correct!

i like metro and share.very nice names

[rhys]

セーラー服.com sailor uniform (traditional japanese schoolgirl uniform)

鮎.com sweetfish (freshwater trout)

I think these are very specific and nice. The first is more or less an adults/pervert term and fishing is big in japan.

I know the sailor uniform thing might be unbelievable to some of the uninitiated but it's a huge fantasy in japan. On a similar vein, I own the term "female teacher" in the .com and all my legit traffic seems to be adult in nature.

Hm.. Porn King. Yes I dabble in the adult domains from time to time. I don't wanted to be painted with that brush per say. I am a lover of all the finer things in life and yada yada yada.

Oh, who am I kidding. I love the name. I love the outfits and my dream is to be surrounded in a sea of these women attending to my every needs. Big, luscious, buxom.... crap I almost forgot where I was at.

Nice name, for sure my favorite of the bunch.
