Vanity and narrow

A memorable animal name with zodiac and mascot appeal, but few serious projects would make .tiger their primary web address.

.duckstrong parallel
delegated 2016 · later pulled

Same bet exactly: a single charismatic-animal common noun with no industry of registrants behind it, whose value is evocative brand association plus trademark defense, so it must be sold as a vibe rather than a vertical.

uncontested · scored 12* in 2012 · run by Johnson Shareholdings, Inc.

.monstermoderate
delegated 2016 · live

Same bet of taking a punchy common noun that reads as an attitude rather than a category, so it lives or dies on brand adoption and is shadowed by a famous word-mark owner who wants it locked down.

2 applicants contested it · scored 25* in 2012 · run by Monster Worldwide, Inc.

.unicornmoderate
never delegated

Same bet on an animal word bought for connotation rather than membership, with no profession, industry, or community that would put its primary identity there, so demand has to be manufactured from aesthetics.

uncontested · scored 16* in 2012

* A separate 2012-only read, time-locked to what was public that year. Different scale from this page’s score — the two are not comparable.
