That reminded me of Orkut, which was a social networking product, but created by Orkut Büyükkökten.

So he just reused his personal domain name for the product! https://orkut.com/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkut

This reminds me of the joke about the guy who couldn't afford a vanity number plate for his car so he changed his name to CK-16450

later, he held onto hello.com for years with a "coming soon! the next network from orkut!" Supposedly you could get an invite but I don't know anybody who ever actually used it.
