    Of course I own my name. Only the .com though. I snagged every free email account as well.

    I did not get my name John or my surname Paul. :(

    The different options offered were not so attractive too..

    Cheers!!

    Most of the common human name domains are already registered by people.it is hard to find your own name domain.

    i own my first name, not in .com though. Michael.mx

    I would consider selling it though. i know there are a lot of Michael's, and the name is taken in every extension :)

    I will own my own name eventually. It's unused and I've been waiting for it to drop for close to a decade. One of these days though...

    WOW....Thats amazing. Why don't you try to contact the current owner and offer him a deal?

    I have a wordpress blog installed on my domain and it ranks no. 1 for my name without any SEO and backlinking. My twitter and facebook page appears after it.

    I registered my full name way back. It has a personal blog on - I don't have a common name but it's good to control the #1 slot. Keeps the first thing people find out about me under mt control :)

    It is entirely possible that the person having the same name as yours... is owning this domain name and is keeping it for sentimental value. If it indeed is true.. he will never let it go! :eek: :(

    Well thanks for crushing my hopes and dreams.

    Haha well it's his son's name. It hasn't been used in years, so I'm hoping one of these days he lets it go.


    I've already waited this long...


    Nah gives me something to look forward to :D

    Having your own name as a domain helps for branding purposes. I have my name in a domain, and use it as a blog to promote my freelance writing services.

    It depends what you do. And it's often worth buying just in case you want to use it even if you just park it.
