I am a bit confused on this. If this man .e.g. kunleafeez was to be a VERY BIG celebrity in your country. Is it advisable to register a domain like so .i.e. "fansofkunleafeez.com" with the intension of making money blogging building on his popularity?

    This isn't a good place to ask for, or to take, legal advice (and I'm no lawyer) but in general, if used without permission for anything monetized, that would be breaching the person's civil-law rights, whether their name is actually registered as a trademark or not.

      I think Smith has given the perfect answer. You should better consult with an attorney or legal person before proceeding the same.

    Not 100% relevant but I thought you might enjoy. I do get quite a lot of questions posed to me regarding my famous namesake. A classic was a facebook friend request which went along the lines of the following.

    "Hey man are you the Paul Guilfoyle from CSI. If so I'm one of your greatest fans. If not don't bother replying"

    LOL
