I was trolling around SEDO.com again to see what new .tel names have gone up for sale.
I saw that bredpit.tel was up for sale for $250. I thought “Oh no – that poor person has done a misspelling on Brad Pitt and is now trying to sell it off for some ridiculous amount.”
Well I was wrong. Apparently Brad Pitt’s name translates to Bred Pit in Macedonian. There is a Facebook Group for Bred Pit with almost 500 members.A Google search for bred pit, brings up large numbers of Brad Pitt links without asking “Did you mean Brad Pitt”.
Who knew that you had to get not only your real name but your translated name? Gosh, it’s exhausting. Hmmm – it looks like “Van Disel” will be having the same problem.
Search for yourname.tel, and don’t forget to pick up the Macedonian translation
