Parents will purchase the dot-com name for their baby. We have been aware of some instances where somebody didn't name their child a particular name because the dot-com wasn't available.

I often get questioned about how we came up with the name 'Weebly.' We all know that all of the good domain names are already taken, and we had neither the desire nor budget to try and fit our business into a pre-existing word - so we made one up.

When I was starting out, I thought about how the Internet is global and that we should have a global name, a name that's interesting. At that time, the best name was Yahoo! Suddenly I thought, 'Alibaba is a good name.'

Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.

A name, of course is like a piece of clothing, isn't it? It gives you an impression right away.

A domain name is your address, your address on the Internet. We all have a physical address; we're all going to need an address in cyberspace. They're becoming increasingly important. I believe we'll get to the point where when you're born, you'll be issued a domain name.

I think it would be impossible if you had a name like mine not to get a little flack for it.

To understand a name you must be acquainted with the particular of which it is a name.

Sometimes a nickname is used instead of the real name. But a nickname may offend either the one named or the parents who gave the name.
