I would have to agree. Many people in the domaining community go with a name that fits their preferences (I've selected to put my name behind everything I do using my initials and signature to demonstrate that I put full faith in services provided).
This name could be anywhere from reg fee to $$$$ if a domainer really liked it and had a strong portfolio of domain names with fixed prices.
I would suggest that if you are building a portfolio, to use it yourself.
