Drop day is done, and 333 of the 8,096 domains listed on October 21 found new homes. That's a catch rate of 4.11%, which means the vast majority of the list went back into the open pool with nobody the wiser.

WHC Online Solutions Inc. was the heavy hitter, with 146 catches, nearly half the week's haul. Their list reads like a well-stocked English dictionary: predictor.ca, induction.ca, deduction.ca, feasible.ca, conceptualize.ca, and mineralogy.ca all went to them. BareMetal.com inc ran a close second with 111, and they clearly know what they want. Their picks skewed short and punchy, including gita.ca, agha.ca, fender.ca, and hansel.ca. They also grabbed slop.ca, which is either a bold brand bet or a very honest comment on the internet.

The rest of the field was thinner but had its moments. Webnames.ca Inc. took alle.ca, a clean four-letter name that will be gone from the pool before most people finish their double-double. Register.ca Inc. landed current.ca, which is a solid name for anybody building a utility or energy brand. MyID.ca INC. nabbed nates.ca, and DomainePlus.com (3612040 CANADA inc.) picked up awakened.ca, the best single-word aspirational name of the week. Tip of the cap to them.

The notable misses are worth a look. pori.ca is a four-letter .ca name and it's still sitting there, which says something about how unpredictable these drops can be. The French-language names went largely unclaimed too: chacun.ca, vidanges.ca, and frittage.ca are all still available, along with the English-language curiosities spatially.ca, outboxes.ca, and desinformation.ca. Someone with a bilingual business plan has a free shot at a few good names this week.

What the catches tell us is that this week's hunt rewarded the registrars who knew exactly what they were after, and the best names still went fast to the ones who came prepared. Keep your eyes on the pool, Canada.
