    I think it somehow depends on what you are planning to use the domain for. A .name domain is not very good for branding IMHO. If its a a great keyword domain then it wont harm you in the SERPS.

    .name is a crappy extension. I wouldn't buy it if I was you.

    if you really need that one word keyword and .name is the only gtld free, it's ok.

    .name is basically good for personal websites where you want to post your CV or so :)
