Although if your domain is stolen, a US federal court found this past summer that whois data is meaningless and someone lost a domain they paid $150,000 for. http://www.domainnamenews.com/legal-...ownership/1653
so if you had say a few hundred domains with godaddy, all under the same account number, but with different names down in the name fields, by virtue of the godaddy acct. that has control of the domains should matter more than what initials or fake company name or whatever is in the name field of the whois, wouldn't it?
