Now, the interesting thing about web-based business is that, for the most part, your address IS your name. ("It's a fascinating problem in information theory," I keep saying to philosopher friends at parties, but nobody will take the bait.)

Wa-Khasis's canonical example &mdash; taken from the world of academic papers, but easily applicable to domain naming &mdash; is this: if you are writing a screed against Stanley Fish, write it under the assumed name "Rotterdam," which contains dual ghosts of ''rotting'' and ''dams'', two things utterly antithetical to fish. Along similar lines, you can conceal within your domain name hints of what your company hopes to represent.

You've picked a snazzy, memorable, meaningful, unoccupied name for your company. Now the trick is to register it. It used to be simple:Just fork over your money to [http://www.networksolutions.com Network Solutions], the only registrar, and they'd give you your domain, in their inimitable desultory style.

If you don't have a web host yet, for example, you probably want a registrar that offers domain parking until you get your IP address.

In addition to those primary ICANN-accredited registrars, you can also go with a member of [http://corenic.net/ CORE] or a subsidiary of TUCOWS's [http://services.tucows.com/ reseller] system. Now, TUCOWS's idea is an interesting one. Cashing in on the open-source buzz, they have created a Perl-based open API so that anyone with a little time to invest can easily set themselves up to ''register their own domain names!'' If you see yourself registering 25 or more domains per year, OpenSRS will give you tremendous flexibility, and it only costs you $10 per domain!

A of Juicy Couture Jewelry is a way to give precious christening presents. Even as gold or silver, many people like the meaning behind the jewelry. Remember that while it's unusual to give little boys this sort of present, baby girls are the traditional recipient of this gift after the christening.

As opposed to a silver bracelet that the baby can grow out of quickly! You also get the benefit of adding charms to it as the baby grows, every addition expressing your love and hope for her future.

As they grow up and go through various life events, a new Discount Juicy Couture Charms can commemorate them and enhance your bond. Don't be afraid if they do not always wear it though - such a great baptism gift could get destroyed, so they are best left being thought of as an old present as the child matures.

Another thing to consider - are the child's ears pierced? If so you could think about giving some earrings. Earrings containing pearls on a stud would look great. Silver studs would be very nice as well.

When it comes to necklaces, some people prefer to give A St. Christopher necklace to the the baby. The rich symbolism is that St. Christopher can protect the child on his life's journeys.
