Domains have been registered for every one of the top 25 of Google's most common misspellings of "Britney Spears". Will those enterprising pornographers never learn ?

For what it's worth, here's the list:

britney spears
brittany spears
brittney spears
britany spears
britny spears
briteny spears
britteny spears
briney spears
brittny spears
brintey spears
britanny spears
britiny spears
britnet spears
britiney spears
britaney spears
britnay spears
brithney spears
brtiney spears
birtney spears
brintney spears
briteney spears
bitney spears
brinty spears
brittaney spears
brittnay spears

A quick scan of the Google list shows that almost everyone spells "Spears" correctly. This presents a sort of conundrum for parents who want to raise a child star: the kid's name has to be different, but not so different that it's easily misspelled. For boys, I'd say it's probably best to stick with "Ricky." I'm still working on a girls' name.
