Dean;

You say "names". But, is it "whois names" or "domain names"?

I mean "people useful" names. Whois is a protocol for accessing the
registration of names. DNS is a a protocol for distributing Records

Wrong.

Whois protocol is a protocol for accessing the registration of
names, not specifically domain names.

DNS, domain name system, is not a protocol but the system to manage
domain names.

I've never heard of such a system.

DNS is an acronym of Domain Name System.

Uhh, no. You don't seem to understand that names are abstract concepts,

And the names are called domain names.

PERIOD.
