Very good name. To be honest, if I had to choose between that name and creditcards, I would choose creditcards in a heartbeat.
Adam, for privacy purposes, I would recommend putting a (.), or something to that effect in your mention of the name to avoid this thread getting picked up by a search.
If I were to make a few guesses as to the buyer, something medical came to my head at first, but since the user isn't obvious, here are my speculations as to who it is that is going after the name...
- A politician with the initials MD (just like you did with ZP (.) com... I remember the Forbes article
- Mountain Dew (you never know?)
- McDonalds (they go by MCD in their abbreviations, but they don't seem to own mcd.ca)
- MedNax Inc. (Florida company with $3.49B market cap uses MD as their NYSE symbol)
--> That said, Midland Exploration Inc., headquartered in Montreal, is traded on the CVE, but with a $44.45M market cap, they're not spending high $xxx,xxx on a domain.
But based on others' posts, McDonnell Douglas sounds like a very likely contender, especially since there are at least three misspell opportunities ("Mc" vs "Mac", two n's or one n, two l's or one l), likely leading to much frustration for those attempting to access or email on the spelled-out domain.
BTW, to whatever very gutsy individual this might interest, mcdonnelldouglas (.) ca
is available for registration as of this writing.
I was tempted to register it, but a TM approved since 1984 would make this a very risky registration.
