That is extortionate. You are already covered legally anyway if anyone tries to pretend to be you, and also complaining to Nominet if that happened would have their domain names stripped from them and probably automatically given to you. There's lots of people that'd probably want those particular names legitimately without even knowing of your business' existence and so it's unlikely they'd try and pretend to be you.
