name.name
 

any reason this cannot be bought?

because it's stupid

hahaha...

name.name?

Maybe because it's reserved?

com.com
tv.tv

why not name.name

stupid isnt a very smart answer.

on a side note, the whole .name TLD is stupid

I agree

better reserve this one: stupiddomainnamesnobodywillclickon.name :winkwink:

I agree.

With the newer ICANN generic top-level domains (GTLDs), there were a number of reserved words that most/all of the new registrars barred from registration, among them I think were the GTLD extensions themselves. (com.name, net.info, info.name, name.museum, museum.name, and so on). Whois info on many of these lists them as registered to "ICANNReserved" or just says the name is reserved, depending on how the managing registrar implemented things.
