The ICANN whois also does not give any information, there is just a copyright message from Nominet UK

https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=chris.blog

Maybe the domain got bought during the sunrise period by a copyright holder!?

The reply I received from get.blog support (last image in the post) stated that "chris.blog ended up being part of the list of reserved domains that are not available for registration". So I imagine they'll either keep it internal or sell it as a premium domain.

Yeah right, you had mentioned in your P.S. two other names dave and matt, I did a whois for those two and got some information:

https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=matt.blog https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=dave.blog

So yes it seems it got reserved. I wonder why too.

P.S. I'm a chris too ;) that's why im so interested in this, I own chris.lu but as it is a country tld this is not so good from a SEO point of view. I want to change if I find a better one, but haven't found one yet. Have fun with your new chris.lol :)
