Suggest a domain for personal blog

[champ_rock]

Hi

I am planning to start a personal blog. I am in a dilemna regarding the kind of domain that I want.

So here are the options that I have tried:
1. FirstLast.com is my fav choice but it is registered by someone else. He is not replying to emails (So I guess this is kind of ruled out)

2. I dont like .net and .org. If I had to go for these two extensions then I would prefer only FIRSTNAME.net/.org. BOth of them are also unavailable

3. First-Last.com is available but somehow I dont like the dash in between.

4. I can see the initials of my name available in some obscure TLD. "LL.TLD" But I dont want to go with that because I read somewhere that these registries can stop two letter domains any time they want (LA registry did that I think)

any opinions on what other kind of a domain would be suitable? Any suggestions/ideas/anything is welcome.

thanks

what about lastname.net/org are they avail? then you could have firstname.lastname.org for example.

edit:
how about first letter of firstname+lastname.com or firstname+first letter of lastname.com

lastname.net/org : Gone (.net is regged since 2000 and i doubt the owner is in a mood to let it go: Min bid at sedo 1500Euro! )

Firstletterfirstname+lastname.com : Gone. Already contacted the owner . Not willing to sell cos this is his FirstletterFristname+Lastname

I've had the same issue recently. I suggest going with your cc such as .us or .co.uk. so.

FIRSTNAME.us/co.uk/other cc
If that's taken. Maybe

FIRSTNAMELASTNAME.com?

Well I was going to suggest one I have - MyBlogs.org, but I see youdon't like .org's so... back to the drawing board.

how about adding a keyword?
e.g.
lastname+'online'.com
lastname+'web'.com
lastname+'blog'.com

^ Good ideas, IMHO ... also how about your locale+'blog'.com, etc? :lala:
