Buying Domains for Babies

According to the New York Times, a new trend is for parents (and parents-to-be) to purchase domains and email addresses for their babies (or fetuses). Some want to use it as a virtual baby book, with friends and relatives leaving messages and parents posting pictures and videos. Others are purchasing them for the future. Instead of having a Hotmail or AOL email address, they will have their own domain name. [from CNET.com]
