The Name Costs Twelve Dollars

An activity book about choosing a name, saying it out loud, testing whether a friend can remember it tomorrow, and understanding that the name is rented rather than owned outright.

Domain names and renting a name

Half the book is a naming workshop: write it, say it, spell it to somebody else on the phone, and find out how many of those steps your brilliant name survives.

The other half is the part nobody tells adults until it costs them something. Names lapse. A name with history attached is worth real money, and somebody is always waiting for the ones people forget to renew.
