    Default Unintentional Double Meanings

    I just read a funny article about real domains that have unintentional double meanings. Some of you may have read past articles about these domain names:

    Even real domains had unintentional double meanings, underscoring the importance of choosing a good address. Among the funniest ones:

    Travel site Choose Spain:

    choosespain.com

    The newspaper Winters Express:

    wintersexpress.com

    Kids clothing:

    childrenswear.co.uk

    Celebrity agent directory Who Represents:

    whorepresents.com

    Pen Island, maker of branded pens:

    penisland.net
    The article can be found at:

    I suppose the moral of the story is be very careful when you register your next domain.

    Here's an updated list of bad domain names.

    The one that made me laugh the most was Putacart.com. Hey, I don't know much Spanish, but I recognised straightaway that this was an inappropriate domain name.

    Ceres - thanks for sharing the names - had a hearty laugh reading some of them who represents - is the best :P

    Reminds me of a quote dunno by whom - but here is the text
    'pen is mightier then pen is' - by removing the space - one can interpret it either way

    cheers
