I would suggest going for lastname.com. It will be shorter -> easier to remember/pronounce/write and more brandable.

If you want your first name in the domain name, you can always use a subdomain (firstname.lastname.com). On the other hand lastnames.com are usually already taken.

Good luck

brands are more often built around firstname lastname

Well what about Dell, Disney, DuPont, Hewlett-Packard, Ford, Toyota, Hilton, Marriott, Michelin, Porsche, Perdue, Smucker?

I say if you can get both, do so. If I had to choose only one, I'd say go with the last name.

It all depends on what your using it for.

1. Personal use (blog ect..)? Doesn't matter either way. Whatever you like.

2. Resell? Last name only 100%. Leaves your options to end-users wide open.

I choose Firstname.com or FirstnameLastname.com. Just my opinion.

At this stage of the game, depending on how obscure the spelling, It depends on what is still available when you're ready to pull the trigger.

If the end user wants it for personal or small business reasons, firstnamelastname.com might be OK. I have a few of these, although I stick to ones that are really common like KellyMiller.com

You can see how many Americans have a first/last/full name here:

My lastname.com is taken in all tld's but somebody dropped the .eu, so I was able to grab that. I have managed to register most versions (various spellings and shortening of my firstname) of my firstnamelastname.com however. I think this would be most peoples experiences. lastname.com is much more valuable/better than firstnamelastname.com.

It's depend on you. But I would like to say that you will benefit from Small URL.

As a personal resume i recommend firstlast.com. if your lucky enough to register your last name get it!

It depends on your intentions for the domain. I prefer to use firstnamelastname.com for a personal blog/ resume website then the lastname.com for something more general and shorter type of domain. I see that last name domains is harder to get so if it's available just get it.

Good luck!
