there is no guarantee the uniqueness of WHOIS handles. there is no name

pick any prefix you wish.

Can I register affixes somehwere?
I'm currently creating a WHOIS-like database (which might be publicly

other WHOIS databases.
(I asked a similar question on some IETF WHOIS list a few months ago,
but this list appears to be dead.)
