    Nice post,

    I bought my name but .com was not availible. So i bought the .co.uk which is fine cause im from the UK.
    My name is not common so i am quite lucky. Also apart from .com and .co.uk being taken they are all there to be regged.

    Really helps if you have a really uncommon name. You usually don't have to do any SEO for name sites and they will appear first.

    must be registered by someone who loves themselves. LOL. not really. name searches get a lot of traffic. is you have a common name the owner could be monetizing the fact that your name is common.

    Mine was registered by someone back in 2002, my full name is still available though, but I'm not interested in purchasing it. Maybe if I become rich and famous someday? ;)

    My full name has been available for a long time and I've always thought about snagging it up. I never seem to have the extra cash available when I do think about it. My last name only has been taken though.

    My name is Regg since 1999. 5L.com will sell for 50$-100$ in Forums:D

    I was searching for myname surname .com at godaddy. Performed searches over 50 times.

    The day I thought I will register I headed towards Godaddy. WTF? My name surname.com was registered. Checked WHOIS. It was hidden by Domainbyproxy.com Godaddy Jackasses Robbed my name:X

    I don't. I'd like one but I wouldn't use it. I have a personal site under a nickname which seems more personal to me.

    I have just checked mine and its available but it’s a premium Domain price £956.18.

    I might just pass on that one.

    Thanks Brian
