If you or someone you know is expecting children in the near future, consider that there may be no better gift to set aside for your child than his or her own domain.

Oh my, there's one thing I don't get here. She's a big time Hollywood star who make millions, right? With THAT kind of budget, she can focus only on generic domains. Why bother with pennies on the dollar?

I agree, parents should certainly consider to set aside a few good domains for the child.

I can't believe they registered all those crappy extensions! Though I guess it saves on legal costs for later in life. Ha!
@ Baby Names
I also can't believe that. because what purpose of registered 50 domains. I accept parents should register some domains for child. But, this is amazing u know.
It is interesting to see a star dabble in the business of domain purchasing. I am sure she is not buying these for domain flipping purposes as she does not need the money. Sometimes it is hard to identify the agenda behind peoples actions however, in this case it could be that she simply plans on creating websites or preventing some scammers from setting up junk sites with her kids names.
I think it's good move, they don't want to earn, maybe just protect kids by taking out of pond some good SEO domains making slightly less attention on kids.
Who knows.
She did it to protect her children from scammers putting up amateur porn sites when they get older, and because with famous mommy and daddy comes famous children, guaranteed they'll use them someday in their pursuit of indie film acting.
Here are some un-owned Jolie-Pitt domain names http://domainbrain.wordpress.com/2008/09/22/angelina-jolie-and-brad-pitt-family/
good move Angelina!! mmm smells like the speculative surname, first name .com market will boom if few more celebrities step in to the arena
Shes not just a pretty face.
Hey….she's got the money, so basically, the cost is not even a consideration. Plus - you know that she didn't actually buy a single one - more like her peons did.
I think it's good that she did this. Cybersquatters would definately get those names later on. Interesting enough she registered them with ENom. At least the whois for viviennemarchelinejoliepitt.biz says that. Didn't check them all. Assume they are the same.
She registered the new borns to all existing domain names, the babies are already born-stars. Yeah i agree with you, she did a good thing to protect her kids from cybersquatters.
Wow! I wonder if this is going to start a new trend among cyber squatters … as this would certainly get them in the rush to get the domains of the name of any new kid who is born to a celebrity! Sheesh.
Das ist zu sch?n, wenn es in Indien kommt hoffe, es kann
