    .name is very less worth.. I have not seen any .name site ranked well in search engines.

    bz? I used to own a 3 character .bz but well, it's so hard for me to sell that domain name, but when I developed it and I could sell it pretty easy.

    So I guess if you intend to resell the .name or .bz domain name, it may not be very worth, however if you try to build on it, it may become very useful.

    toby has a valid point, .name domains aren't good for resell purposes, however if you develop, then you can get good rankings for exact keywords of the name.

    i am not tracking .name domains at all,
    rarely have been to any websites with .name extension.

    it would work out more for personal websites i guess.

    Teoma.name would be worth nothing as its a trademark hassle.

    .name domains aren't worth a lot right now and possibly won't be worth a lot in the future as well.

    Teoma would only be a TM hassle if you used it for a search engine site...

    But generally speaking, your domain is reg fee. .name are pretty much worthless.

    I think .bz domains are much better than .name domains. I personally prefere .bz over .name.

    .bz is a ccTLD, I dont think it will be good for a professional website unless it just focus the bz audience.
