But it can also imply that something is worthless and without substance. In that respect I would think it's better suited to a general forum or blog, as a lot of what is discussed on those is froth!

Can't think of many uses for it.

Maybe a politics blog?

PoshTiger · Mar 14, 2014

Me too - I like it..

I was thinking of a homebrew beer site or a micro-brewery forum or something.

Or a site about irrational exuberance in the financial markets?

Nice name Eddy - very brandable for businesses mentioned above.

I like it as well, nice friendly and fun name, excellent branding potential for someone in the mentioned industries. I wouldn't worry about any perceived negative connotation, I don't think the phrase is particularly well know these days.

I don’t really see a business putting there hard earned cash into developing the name Trouble with “Brand” is there are millions to choose from?

I think it's a fantastic name for the reasons people have already mentioned. There might be millions of brand names to choose from but there are not millions of short one word names that are both real words and would simultaneously work as a brand.

Yes there are lots of things it could be as well as the above maybe more commercial would be shaving foam. Washing up liquid, soap etc something the visualisation of the word conjures up but the other something unsubstantial, trivial, or evanescent I believe may put real commercial buyers off? (also not being a com?) Brand is about a lot more than just being a word and short? The previous registrant had it since 1999 (twelve years) they also must have seen something in it but also maybe why they let it drop ?

True, but this is a good starting point.

I think a lot of larger companies would be put off by not being able to get the .com too but for small to medium sized businesses with a few £xxxx to spend it wouldn't be too much of an issue.

In this case the .com has a site on it but it's a personal blog with very little content which was last updated in 2012. A prospective buyer may be able to acquire it relatively easily, it would certainly be worth asking.

True had seen they own the com and net but they regged it in 1998 and wayback shows some interesting past somehow that makes me think they wouldn’t be parting with it for anything less than a substantial offer
