Your name.tld

Found this question coming to me out of curiosity really, how many of you own your own name in some form of domain?

E.g. I own mattjewell.com and mattjewell.info which i plan to use later down the line.

So vote away

Matt



Title changed as requested

I still remember the day when I was ~8 years old and I wanted Sonny.com but my parents wouldn't let me use their credit card.

So I opted now and got www.sonnyvan.com

there is one great stuff in uk i like, you can change you "birth name" for round £50 by deed poll (pay online)

so if you can't find your name .com available you can always adjust this to available .com

lol

or if you are just bored of your name or "cleaning around" or something.., you can change as many times as you like
