Have you ever registered a domain and later asked yourself why?

I moved a few domains to another company and a newly minted domain sits at the top of the list and every time I see it I ask myself
" why on gods green earth did I register that? "

Has anyone else done that?

In my case I own a few bicycle domains like cycle, bike, etc and for some silly reason I registered bykr.ca

It looks wrong any which way I look at it and I know it's in use elsewhere as well but trying to keep my catalog in step with my personal tastes this domain seems to be taunting me somehow. I see it at the top whenever I log in, whenever I change screens, it does not matter where I look in my control panels that domain winks at me, smiles and says.... hey there buddy, look at me!

Anyone else have something similar?

The only other time I had that is when I had a sex domain 4sex.ca and it really was not my style, it bothered me to even have it in my catalog.
 
there was always a reason, sometimes you just forget.

  • backlinks or traffic that has since tapered off
  • you were taking it off the market because you own a better variant, i.e. brand protection
  • was a trendy term once upon a time
  • you heard a new term watching the news and you jumped on it only for it to never take off
  • you saw a sale under another tld and reg’d the CA
  • you noticed all the other similar keyword variations were reg’d
  • you were drunk/high and thought it sounded like a good brandable at the time
I’m guessing the latter on Bykr 🤣
