    H there,

    I have two surnames so it's about to long. Should I use just one or both?

    It might be too long.

    let us say your surname was Abernathy-Brown
    could you have rachelab.com
    or something like that?

    It will always be best that you choose a name that will be easily recognizable. Choosing the correct domain name is all part of "branding" your site/domain. Think it through thoroughly what you are trying to achieve.

    Might make it easier for you to use both surnames. Allows you to get a unique domain name.

    Can you shorten each surname to make up a catchy phrase?

    Hello

    Take into consideration that your domain name is the reference and the first thing your costumers are going to see.

    So it should be something short, approachable and easy to remember.

    Short and sweet is what I would recommend. Easy to say and easy to remember.

    I agree, something short (doesn't have to be so short), but something that is easy to remember and it's usually best to have a domain name that is somewhat related to what your site is about, this way people will automatically make that connection, and it's always good to have something unique.

    As a case in point, you have forksoverknives which isn't short but fits with the philosophy of the site and is easy to remember because of that.

    Choose whatever you want but keeping in mind you should rank it later and domain name can play a vital role in this regard.
