.name domains can be registered at the third level (ie: first.last.name can be registered in a way that last.name is shared [email protected] is forwarded, and separate people own different *.last.name domains).

However so far the only registrars I've found that support third-level .name domains don't support whois privacy (putting their info in whois instead of yours, forwarding the messages to you) and preferentially I'd like to keep whois protection on every domain name I own.

There are also 3rd party privacy protection services, but so far the only ones I've found don't support .name domains.

Are there any good registrars supporting third-level .name domains and privacy protection, or 3rd party whois privacy services that support .name domains?

A: 

I'm not sure what you're after here that you don't already have. Here's what I get when I do a whois daniel.friesen.name (omitting all the disclaimer boilerplate):

Domain Name ID: 4362273DOMAIN-NAME
Domain Name: DANIEL.FRIESEN.NAME
Domain Status: ok

That's it, no other identifying information is returned.

@Greg: He's looking for a whois provider that does not dish out the information regarding who owns the domain, telephone no etc that kind of thing...

@tommieb75: And that information is *not* provided by the `.name` whois server. Which is why I was wondering what the problem was.
