Of course I am not talking about common English first names like John, Paul, Cathy, etc. I am talking about some unique first names. Mine costs $39,000 and I was shocked. I don't own the domain though

Here:

How about yours?

    Mine isn't available in either its full, shortened or alternate spelling formats, so I wouldn't have a clue.

    That's truly an insane price to pay for a domain, makes you wander what Raden means for one to pay that amount.

      Although I'm a Filipino, Raden is an Indonesian name. My father who was a history teacher named me after Raden Wijaya. Raden also known in Japanese as a decorative craft (Japaning in UK). It truly has a lot of meaning but I don't know why it costs that so much. Maybe the owner of that domain knows anything we don't.

      According to translated wikipeda:

      Raden is a title of nobility in culture Javanese , Sundanese , Madurese , and several other regions in Indonesia. This title since the 14th century for example, also be used in Borneo ( Empire State Daha ) and is still used in some palace eg Sambas Sultanate . In writing the person's name, "Raden" commonly abbreviated as "R.".

        My first domain as well as others are typically worth $400 each!

        I know because some keep pestering me to buy it!

        I am not going to blow that amount, on a site that will probably end up being a dead horse, so l go for the next best thing.

            Mine is probably worth quite a bit (but they wouldn't sell it to me, anyway) ...

    lol, I just checked mine and it triggered a virus warning.

    To the owner of jack.com, sell it to me and I'll do it justice.
