    I just registered 2 sites for my children
    Jack & Holly but mine (and variations) was already gone :mad: do you own a domain in your own name?

    if so...what do have on there?

    there is of course http://www.shawnhogan.com which rings a bell. :p

    James.

    I used to, but it lapsed :(

    I believe .me.uk is appropriate for such a circumstance, you might have more luck with your name(s)

    Are you forgetting .name?

    I so much want <myfirstname>.com, but someone who hasn't made a site for it in the past many years is not gonna make it any more but keeps renewing the domain

    Someboday in Dallas, Texas has had my name registered for years and years.
    Tried way back in the 90's sometime to get it.
    Whoever it is, has yet to make a site out of it.
    Just a blank page has been shown for years!
