BEIJING, CHINA – APRIL 02: A young orphaned Chinese girl sits in a crib at a foster care center on April 2, 2014 in Beijing, China. China’s orphanages and foster homes used to be filled with healthy girls, reflecting the country’s one-child policy and its preference for sons. Now the vast majority of orphans are sick or disabled. China says it has 576,000 orphans in its child welfare system though outside groups put the number at closer to a million. The parents who abandon them either cannot afford treatment or feel an inability to cope with raising a child who has special needs. In many cases an unwanted baby is never registered so the parents can skirt the one-child policy if they try for another. (Photo by Kevin Frayer/Getty Images)

Domain availability?

A poll by GoDaddy just found out that 20% of millennial parents are changing their name (or at least thought about it) based on domain name availability. If you don't know what domain name availability is - it is the availability of a certain website!

Often when it comes down to choosing the name of a newborn, parents are often inspired in many different ways. Some parents may choose to name their baby after someone in there family, others may decide to name them after a role model they have looked up to in their life while some parents just like to come up with something unique.

The GoDaddy poll revealed that 45% of millennial parents have said they wanted to have their domain named reserved for the future, while 42% of parents have used it for a digital baby book, and another portion of parents wanted to have it in order so they could show their kids how to use the Internet.

What do you think? Is this how we should name our kids...
