Yes ... nowadays ... unless you have a very unique first and last name ... you are lucky to run across your own name .com. It is common practice for professionals (i.e, Lawyers, Realtors, etc) to use there names as there business home page.
I was lucky to find my wife's for her recently ... I would suggest if yours happens to still be there, it is worth the reg
I have my last name in .net, and know the guy that has the .com, but i have been thinking about getting my full name, that is after I found out that paulharrison.com go's for 1088.00.
I just checked...Who would have thought my last name Bolyard would have been taken. I don't know anyone with that last name other than my immediate family
same thing happen to me, i wanted the .com, it was taken. I got the .net, which is cool.
I went ahead and bought some of my family and wife's family names.
There are many names that I would of like to have, I was so late getting in the URL game, and when I did I thought it was dead, but it's not. Still much to be made. I think they should setup a .cell, for cell phones. or do they?
I was looking around for my son's first name (nickname), and it's taken, but they offer to share it by allowing you to sign up for an e-mail account.
I thought about doing something like this with a few of my URL's.
