    I own my own .com name. I figured domain names are cheap, so why not just get one.

    You are right... I also own mine as it came pretty cheap to me and they always do.... especially if you have a unique name! :)

    Angelina Jolie bought like 50 name domains for her kids, (google it)
    I think name domains will become more popular.

    I have thought about doing that but it will be just a waste of money
    there is no benefit in doing so :(

    What's advantage of having your own name? For business or just personal?

    Not necessarily, if your domain is down or under maintenance for serveral days, a site where someone is very active will come first during such stage, as in example twiiter.com/yourname

    The .com was taken for my name so I bought the .ca since I'm Canadian.

    I'd grab the .com if it ever drops even though I haven't really done anything with the .ca yet.

    my sons firstlast.net redirects to the site I made for him.

    Wow you have stocked up of names, good thing they were cheap. But drop them before renewal if you havent dont anything with them. Too costly, for the privilage of jsut having it.
