Preparing for the arrival of a new baby is a busy time for all parents, including celebrities. Security forces have to be re-configured, private hospital suites (or entire wings, in some cases) secured, and domain names purchased before anyone else snags them.

The very day the Jolie-Pitt twins were born, their handsome Daddy's law firm purchased the following domain names:

knoxleonjoliepitt.net
knoxleonjoliepitt.us
knoxleonjoliepitt.org

Unlike the Jolie-Potts, most parents don't purchase every combination of domain name possible, but snagging the domain rights for new babies has been going on for a while now. Some parents even using domain availability searches as a final litmus test on deciding what to name their upcoming child.

Buying the domain name for a new baby might make a great and unique gift for internet savvy new parents, too. They could use it to start a blog about the baby for friends and relatives until the child is old enough to take it over on their own.
