 WIPO Domain Name Decision: D2003-0219
The disputed domain name was registered on September 17, 2001, in the name of Sequence Media LLC, with Brandon Lee of the same address named as the administrative and technical contact.
Finally, the Complainant contends that the domain name was registered and used in bad faith, citing the Respondent’s offer to sell the domain name to the Complainant for $5,000, a figure which was likely to be in excess of the Respondent’s documented out-of-pocket expenses for registering the domain and maintaining a simple holding page.
The domain name at issue consists of three elements, namely "dreamwerx," the descriptive noun "entertainment" and the top-level domain name ".com." It is well-established that top-level domains are non-distinctive and do not affect the question of confusing similarity.

The two-part names were generally meaningful, in that each part was associated with a recognizable word of the language.
The name Gotfrid was a two-part name, consisting of the stem Got, associated with the Germanic word got meaning “god”, and the element frid, associated with the Germanic word fridu meaning “peace”.
The Modern English verb huck meaning “sail, float, heave or leap a considerable distance” – used contemporarily in the parlance of skiing and Frisbee – is apparently of recent invention.

 Tao Lee, English Tutor
In Italian there is the last name DeLuca which is a combination of 2 words "De" meaning "from" or "of" and "Luca" which comes from the word "light." Modern last names often drop the capital letter in the middle of the word; others do not.
Some last names put these qualifying words at the end of the name such as Johnson which is a combination of "John’s" and "son." This is perhaps the most common combination in America.
I cannot think of a single English word that has a capital letter inside the word which is not also a proper name, although one may come to mind.
