I just review the .Ninja zone file which includes domain names registered in Sunrise and Landrush (with only 1 application).
Note that some of these domain names carry a premium annual renewal and registration fee.
Long time domain industry veteran Jothan Frakes scored with Brand.ninja and Conference.ninja.
The University of Michigan registered Personal.Ninja
The strangest registration in our opinion goes to a Matthew Mahler of California who is now officially the Fart.Ninja
Here are the .Ninja domain name registrations that caught our eye and once again do not including collision land rush auctions. I’m in a collision auction on the domain name Cannabis.ninja All collision Land Rush auctions are going to be handled by Namejet.com:

I see Ganja.ninja is reserved by the registry. Once upon a time, I owned the corresponding .COM. Hand-reg’d it, in fact and sold it a couple years back. It’s now parked by a Hungarian owner.
I must say, Mike, “Ganja Ninja” resonates a bit better than “Cannabis Ninja”. If I were you, I’d give that Cannabis.ninja auction a pass and track down the owner of GanjaNinja.com. It’s simply a better brand name, regardless of the extension.
I disagree. Ganja, Weed, Pot, Hemp, Bud, Dope, Herb, 420, etc…are all considered street terms. Cannabis is the name that every doctor, lawyer, scientist and business use. Cannabis is by far the better name.
@Todd,
Keep in mind which extension we’re talking about here. .NINJA isn’t .COM. Ninjas don’t wear lab coats or suits. “Street terms” — particularly rhyming street terms — match the connotations of the suffix.
“Ninjas don’t wear lab coats or suits”
Bill Sweetman does. 🙂 I agree with your thinking even though I still think Cannabis does work and it’s more universal.
@Todd,
Notice, by the way, that Bill Sweetman’s website (NameNinja.com) uses an alliterative “N” sound. That’s playful. To me “Cannabis” sounds very dry, almost clinical. With most extensions that’s desirable. But Cannabis.ninja actually looks a bit incongruous — as if a person were wearing a ninja mask from the neck up but a doctor’s lab coat below.
Bullshit.ninja
BS.ninja
chickenshit.ninja
whimpy.ninja
Just like .GURU, I always felt of all English dictionary words, people would choose a translated term from a foreign language as gTLD. Such a limited market and use. Would people even going to use “code ninja” 10 years from now?
Code.Ninja? 10 years from now? No way. 10 years ago you programmed in C++. Today, any newbie can program a game in any number of ‘languages’. 10 years from now? You’re 10 years too late. If Code.Ninja actually had anything worthwhile to see, anyway. It will probably just be parked.
I should add… good luck competing with your ‘code’ 10 years from now (or even 3) against the teams in China and India. I’m glad I started in the 80s.
Good luck, Ninjas. Er, I mean, .Ninja.
What’s a wine.ninja? Somebody who sneaks in and steals your wine.
Sold a *ninja.com for upper four figures recently. There is no way that the same company would spend $700+ per year for the same keyword in .ninja. The premium pricing model will make Registries less money in the long run.
Congrats Theo, and spot on, I had people like my sister and others she knows interested in .dance as they are dance teachers and professionals, $19.99 cool, I start looking at first name. dance because that was what appealed the most, $312.50 to $375. No interest, now these are people that would have spent the $19.99 and renewed.
Was going to pre-order bubble.njnja but the registry has it reserved
