The top 10 trending keywords registered in .COM and .NET domain names during the month of February 2019 were published by Verisign, the .com and .net registry.

You can find the list from last month here.

My experience shows that 700 or 800 (or even less) domain registrations are enough to bring a keyword into the top 10.

There was on common keyword in the 2 lists: apex.

The “Apex Legends” domain name registrations are related to a free-to-play battle royale game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 4, 2019, without any prior announcement or marketing. So that might explain the sudden increase in domain registrations. Of course there could be trademark (TM) problems with these domains.

Top 10 Keyword Registration Trends for .COM and .NET in February 2019:

.COM	.NET
worlds	apex
apex	studios
dentistry	friends
winning	current
legends	epic
they	anti
keeper	attorney
pinpoint	phoenix
amelia	stem
fold	corporate

*Note: Each list was developed by examining keyword registration growth relative to the preceding month, such that those keywords with the highest percentage of registration growth are being reported on. This method is used to eliminate commonly registered keywords, such as “online” and “shop,” to provide a true look at monthly trends. In order to be included, a keyword must experience a minimum threshold in registration growth month over month. Qualifying keywords with the highest volume of registrations are then ranked and included in the list.
