- The Royal Tit-Watching (Ornithological) Society Of Britain used the domain:
www.Nice-Tits.org
- Manufacturer of instruments for monitoring temperature, humidity and pressure Dickson didn’t think twice when they choose:
www.DicksOnWeb.com - A holiday rentals company in Spain is called Choose Spain. Hopefully the vacation won’t be a painful experience:
www.ChoosesPain.com
- A company selling CAD software and Learning CDs was called ViaGrafix – quite innocent until a blue pill hit the market. The company is now called Learn2.
www.ViagraFix.com
- TeachersTalk: A community for teachers and student to discuss all areas of teaching… Even how to stalk teachers?
www.TeacherStalk.com
- The small town Winters’ local newspaper is called Winters Express and can be read online at:
www.WinterSexPress.com
- An eBay competitor was considering the name Auctions Hit, but found it to be a shitty name:
www.AuctionShit.com If you offer a scaffold erection/dismantle service, maybe you shouldn’t have a mammoth as your mascot and call your company Mammoth Erection:
www.MammothErection.com- Things to do and see along New York State’s Canals and vacation regions:
www.NYCAnal.com - New Zealand’s “As Seen On TV” is called “But That’s Not All“. But do they sell Butt Hats or not?
www.ButtHatsNotAll.co.nz - The kids might look nice in their Childrens’ Wear, but remember:

www.MachoMe.com
- Odds Extractor – Online gambling resource or farmers looking for new and unusual machinery?
www.OddSexTractor.com - If you’re known as Big Al, why not call your online fish supplies store for Big Al’s Online?
www.BiGalsOnline.com
- SCA Tissue – Away-From-Home tissue products has a terrible issue with their name:
www.ScatIssue.com
- Even if you’re company is called Cumbria Storage Systems don’t even think about calling your website:
www.CumStore.co.uk
- Alter Scrap Processing part of The Alter Companies use the domain:
www.AltersCrap.com - Anyone knows if Australian ISP WebOne does some moonlighting?
www.WeBone.com
- Don’t start a business in Cook Islands… Given that their TLD is .ck and they use .co for commercial domains, you end up with:
www.budget.Co.ck

I think with at least some of those sites, the choice of names might have been deliberate: with an ambiguous / provocative domain name, the company gets more exposure on the web (i.e. this blog post), without compromising the company’s professional image (too much).
If I was head of marketing, I would probably try to pull something like this

My favorite has to be http://www.penisland.net they sell Pens honest

Unfortunately Pen Island is a joke — go on, try and buy a pen from them. (And while it’s not a domain name, for years I used to drive past Beaver Tool Hire on my way to work, and marvel at their sign saying “Trim your bush with a Beaver trimmer”…
)
