One note replacing the - with a u results in a name that is reserved / removed by the registry so this is as close as it gets in this TLD.

not quite close enough in my opinion, reg fee at best.

Hmmm, kinda narrow use for this name huh? But it stands out, not unlike the company French Connection United Kingdom with its FCUK branding.

If the .US registry wouldn't allow the 'u', is it not possible that it might take action against the use of f-ck.us if it didn't like what it sees as a developed site?

What are the .US rules in this regard?

Hehe, got me thinkin' about other extensions for um, interesting names. I think the following in Yugoslavian means congrats, the name is available to register...

The .us rules on this came in at the eleventh hour, a matter of a few days before the land rush, and are in the following link


.us registration review policy


I am not concerned of the .us registry "taking action" here since it would be ex post facto. One must keep in mind the case of .com where the version with the u was finally allowed after lengthy litigation. However in that case the attempt to remove the name occured was made after a person tried to register it.

Hmmm, it's the old naughty "Seven Words" legal precedent again is it FineE? I should have guessed it.

I think you're right that you're all clear with this name as the wording states '...that contain, within the characters of the domain name registration, any of the seven words...'; and yours is not a word.

A little off topic but still, fizz there is no such language as Yugoslavian, it does not exist... Term Yugosalvian was artificially created... And yes that means there are no Yugoslavians also ....


Try using Serbian (language, people etc..) instead ...
