Woman Changes Her Name To Princess-Rainbow.com
July 17, 1 Comment - Author: Simon JohnsonIts been reported that a woman in the UK has become the first person to change her name by Deed Poll to a domain name.
24 year old Claire Forshaw changed her name earlier this week to Princess-Rainbow.com.
“I knew that if ever I got the chance I would change [my name] to a web domain, to hopefully become the first. My boyfriend has always told me it cost hundreds of pounds to do, so I just forgot about it”
“When I realised it actually cost as little as £10 my boyfriend said that Princess-Rainbow.com was ideal for me because I am mad on rainbows!”
“My dream has always been to sell my artwork to a wider audience and after studying art at college, me and my friend who has an art degree, said that we would love to go into business together selling our creations. Changing my name has given me that kick-start into pursuing my dream and the new site will feature everything from paintings, textiles, 3D work and jewellery.“
“My name change is great and although my friends have started referring to me by my new name, and my place of work have changed all of the paperwork to include my new name, both my boss and my mum are refusing to call me Princess-Rainbow.com!”
Commentary
To be honest, I’m surprised that certain individuals in the domaining industry haven’t changed their name! Perhaps this will spark a new trend?
I’m going to change my name right now to:
“domaining wire king journal acro elliot whizzbang parked chef”
What do you think? Like my new name? Ohhhh…. what’s that? I can hear the ka-ching of UDRP’s coming!

I can’t remember the name, however I remember someone awhile back that changed her name to promote humane treatment of animals. If this much publicity can be had from changing my name, I might just change my name to one of my parked domains
