What is the significance? When I first saw the list I thought who could possibly want these strange names for a domain?
4NT* net -- 4nt -------- 03/15/ 2010 ------------- @ Name
4EH* net -- 4eht --------03/23/2010 ------------- @ Name
5PA* net -- 5pa --------02/28/2010 ------------- @ MyDomain
6DY* net -- 6dy --------02/28/2010 ------------- @ MyDomain
NB9* net -- nb9 --------03/18/2010 ------------- @ MyDomain
SD9* net -- sd9 --------03/02/2010 ------------- @ MyDomain
TA9* net -- ta9 --------03/14/2010 ------------- @ MyDomain
Then I thought about short URL redirect, or using the domain for special purposes like an ad server, etc. So I did a little bit of searching and found a few interesting clues in the real world for these strange names.
4NT
See hxxp://www.jpsoft.com or hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4NT, looks like the name of a command line interpreter from JP Software that replaced the CMD.EXE file in NT and subsequent versions of Windows, could be some potential trademark issues, who knows
4EH
See hxxp://www.4eh.co.uk, looks like a sign company from Scotland called Teale Group, not sure why they have 4EH as their domain name, oh wait now I understand why, see hxxp://www.4eh.co.uk/Links.html, again this makes me think there could be legal issues later on if they want the same .net name, also found a random Flickr picture of 4EH at hxxp://www.flickr.com/photos/26356316@N08/3661985448/
5PA
Lots of existing possibilities for this one, see hxxp://www.mosis.com/ibm/5pa/, looks like a measurement or design spec for IBM semiconductors, see hxxps://www-01.ibm.com/chips/techlib/techlib.nsf/products/BiCMOS_5PA where it looks like we can decipher 5PA to mean power amplifier,
also found hxxp://www.nextbio.com/b/search/ov/5pa with the following drug description,
Name: 5pa
Drug Type: Small Molecule; Experimental
PubChem Substance ID: 17182710
MappedID: 424168
Synonyms:
N-Pyridoxyl-1-Amino-Cyclopropanecarboxylic Acid-5-Monophosphate; 5PA; PLP-1AC;
N-PYRIDOXYL-1-AMINO-CYCLOPROPANECARBOXYLIC ACID-5-MONOPHOSPHATE;
N-[3-HYDROXY-2-METHYL-5-PHOSPHONOOXYMETHYL-PYRIDIN-4-Y-LMETHYL]-1-AMINO-CYCLOPROPANECARBOXYLIC ACID
also found hxxp://www.columbialighting.com/products/5pa/ with the following description, 5PA - SPECIFICATION GRADE AIR HANDLING TROFFER, Columbia’s specification grade full air handling troffer has many air handling and control options.
also found hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_5 which is an attack aircraft, the Mirage 5PA is an export version of the Mirage 5 for Pakistan.
That's enough. I'm sure there's plenty more to research for those who are really interested. Take a look at the sites (if they exist) on the other TLDs and check out the whois details to give you a better idea about potential direction and content. Or you can forget all of that and do what you want to build your own unique branding.
