However, to avoid mixing my page up wit my father’s I need a new subdomain,
and am wondering if l3go is far enough off? - I doubt that outsiders would
recognize it as having something to do with lego, while insiders would
understand it as a relevant name, but still looking unofficial. And it has a
nice pun to it, turning the page 3vil... It already has black background, and

To me a name as l3go seems like getting as close to the edge as possible.
Prehaps it’s just (bearly) enough to be legal (but I’m not even sure about
that), but it’s certainly against the spirit of the rule.
Looking for the edge could trigger TLC to feel a need imposing restrictions more
severe than the current ones. So please consider, there is a risk you’re going
to make things harder for the rest of us.
If I had to make a choice for a subdomain name similar to the choice you have to
make, I would use my own surname, like www.niels.brugge.com. Or use something
such as “brick” or something derrived from a word like that. The ability for
people finding your site is not very dependent on actually having the word
“lego” in your domain name.
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
