Here's a gift you could give this holiday season that you never could before. The dot-name top-level domain will launch early next year, and some registrars are accepting preregistrations. Custom dot-name Web monikers are reserved for individuals and will consist of first name, last name, dot-name, such as JohnDoe.name.

For companies that want to give dot-names to their employees, BulkRegister .com is accepting bulk preregistrations. A spokesman says the names will please tech-savvy employees.
