What is it with domain buyers and the word “nano?” Talk about people unclear on the concept! Nanotechnology is simply the science of developing materials at the atomic and molecular level in order to imbue them with special electrical and chemical properties. With nanotechnology, we will have new and improved products in nearly every area. But, we aren’t going to be looking for “nano” items; we’ll still just look for the items in regular terms.

For example, nanotechnology is helping clothing manufacturers make wrinkle-free pants. But, you’re still going to shop for “wrinkle-free pants”, or just “pants” when they are eventually all wrinkle-free. I can just see someone walking into their favorite clothing store and asking, “Can you show me your nanopants?”

Aside from the science of nanotechnology, the shortened word “nano” is also being used as an adjective in describing something as very small, just as we have used the terms “micro” and “mini.”

Understanding this, let’s take a look at some of the names I pulled out of a deleted domains list last week. Mind you, this was a list of names deleting only on that day and only from GoDaddy.com (on TDNAM.com). And, I looked only at names beginning with “nano” in the .com suffix. I got 99 of them! Chances are one poor sucker bought most of these all by himself since they were all expiring on the same day from the same registrar. It just goes to show you people will register just about anything if there is a trendy word involved. Following are just a sampling of the names.

Nanoauctioneer.com: Either a very, very small person performing an auction, or an auction for buyers of nanos.

NanoCarnival.com: I’ve seen carnivals with the “little people” in shows, but is this for carnivals dedicated to that?

NanoAutoParts.com: I hope the nonowrenches come with them.

Nanochef.com: I like to get a little more on the plate.

Nanoclippers.com: For petite toes?

Nanocranium.com: Describing his own brain for registering this?

Nanocuffs.com: Ouch! Too tight, too kinky.

NanoDriveway.com: Is this to go with the new fuel-efficient, smaller cars?

NanoHotTub.com: Okay….

NanoInfant.com: Now that’s a tiny toddler.

NanoJoker.com: HaHa, that’s funny. Not.

NanoNinja.com: “Didn’t see him coming…”

NanoMassage.com: Oohhh, that felt…like nothing.

NanoMusical.com: Let the little voices be heard!

NanoWine.com: Just gets you a little tipsy.

NanoVacations.com: There is nothing like a weekend escape to the nano factory.

NanoWrinkles.com: I wish they were nano-sized.

Following is the complete list I found that day.
