Need advice on a personal domain name

    This will just be a small blog and gallery and personal use, but the ideal name 'alcantara.com' is taken. Everything else is... it's incidentally my surname so I need alternatives.

    Which do you think sounds better:
    myname.ialcantara.com / info ?
    myname.ealcantara.com / info ?
    myname.myalcantara.com / info ?


    The name itself is too long... so I'm running out of ideas, the holder of alcantara.name have no plans of selling it so I have no choice but to add some words ...


    Help me out here guys?

    hmm.. yeah, it's one of my choices, an e- as a prefix, the i- prefix sounds like another apple product - both sounds nice though

    I was also thinking about alcantara3.com (alcantara Tree), sort of a family tree site where members have subdomains. The number there can confuse a lot of people though..

    Anyone have other ideas for a prefix?
