What’s The Worst Idea for a Fresh TLD?

Some bad and ugly top level domain name ideas.

I’ve written regarding a number of firm’s and city’s plans to apply for fresh top level domain names. There are also lists of proposed domains out there.

Some of these potential top level domain names have some hope, but others just seem doomed from the start. I was reminded of this today when I saw a trademark application for .url.

So now I ask you, dear readers, to weigh in on what you think the worst proposed fresh TLDs are.

Feel free to comment away…
