    The Australian Golfer Greg Norman is known as the "Great White" but don't know if there are any TM issues with that - see http://www.shark.com which is his site.

    Great White is also the name of a very popular, label-signed hard rock band. If you do a google search with "great white" and music, you get about 250,000 websites that reference the band.

    I don't know if they are a registered trademark of the record label.

    'Great White' is registered for several products in the US - including pipe joint compound and automatic pool cleaner in the nature of a vacuum-type unit.

    You could even register this as a trademark yourself - for any other type of goods or services.

    IANAL - but in my informed opinion, it would be trademark overreach for one of them to take it away from you - if you do not infringe on any specific business.

    Basically - UDRP was made that way by WIPO to aid and abet corporations to overreach their trademark.
