Many years ago I had a blog that had a solo girl's name in it and ranked very high for her name in Google. I had permission from the owners to use the name in the domain and on the blog. Eventually, the affiliate program that owned the site was sold and the new owners wanted me to give them the domain. I ultimately decided not to fight it as I wasn't making enough to warrant the legal costs. They just let the domain expire once they had it.

So, if it were me, I wouldn't do it with anything that you plan to put a lot of effort into as it could easily go away.
Good post. Thanks for sharing your experience. Pretty stupid for them to fight you for the domain and then let it expire.
