Do you own your name's domain?
 

Just curious. Have you registered "yourname".com?

Mine has been taken.

no no no

I own mysurname.com :pimp

yep, i have

I regged it a couple of years ago but stupidly enough let it expire and now someone else has it.

yep.. I have mine...

sure do :)

Mine was taken by some Texas bullrider, but I just checked and it's a landing page for ppc now. I don't think I could ever use it anyway.

no they are all taken

your own your name's domains are so gay!

I want to own it, but some artist had the same name and when it was due for expiration I emailed him to buy it. He wanted $5k. I said no. Now it dropped and its a parking page. I'd still like to buy it though.

I agree.. :disgust

Yup, had it for a while now

Not if you plan to use your actual name professionally at some point in your life :2 cents:

I own the .com and .net and more variations of both my own legal and professional name.

absolutely... i own my own name and each of my parents names too

Some other clever guy with the same name as me registered it to make fun of Matchbox 20. Works for me.

I got it years ago and havn't done shit with it.. someone else has the .net and actually posts stuff... funny thing is there is a famous person with my name and i get emails for him from time to time

Yep.... Did it a few years ago!! Along with my wife and daughters!

Sure do, it comes in handy.

of course. i also thought my name was kinda rare.. turns out there is a lot of family i didnt know about including designers, politicians etc with the same name... so i'm glad i did.

I own my surname dot com... the .net is actually a big ISP, and if I set a catch-all I'd end up with a ton of emails that were incorrectly addressed to the .com.

yup own it alltough i don`t do anything with it yet.

no, and lol my last name is taken

http://watson.com/

Both of us have our domain names.

Yup, only took me about 6 years to snag it lol. I also got my oldest sons name, and have my youngest sons name on backorder.

I have myname.com but my uncle grabbed surname.com long ago, the bastage.

Not only do I own my fulll real name but I also own http://www.meloman.com

:thumbsup

Saw a thread like this about a year ago and picked it up along with a few for friends and family.

got mine back in 2002 - I use it purely for the entire families emails - [email protected] etc

Had some guy contact me a while ago wanting to buy it for a few grand and the reason was quite unique - his firstname was my surname. He held his .net, I held the .com but I wouldn't sell it for the world, ever. Esp since my name is actually quite a large corporation's TM.

Who can tell what my kids or my brother's kids will become? Online .coms will always be useful if one of them ever springs into a biz using the family name, so I keep the .com name as mine.

Yeah, me too - There's a company in australia and one in france that trade under my name, so the email catchall is quite fun reading ;)

for myself and my son indeed

I wanted mine, but some other guy named Will Smith got it instead.

Nope - some alarm company has it. :disgust

Theres no way i could get my actuall name i own another one with chris in it lol ive had it for about 8 years and never put a thing on it maybe someday i will !

I own it. Use it for email.

yeah, not a big deal tho

Nope... I've seen this proposition more than a hundred times on Godaddy but... I don't have such a need.

I dont own mine and wont get a chance until 2012.
But i'll be there when it goes.

Had it, dropped it.

I own both my real name and screen name.

i own the .net but the .com was taken :disgust

yep, was able to get it for reg fee.

I own firstnamelastname.com but some big time broadcasting company owner with the same last name has my lastname.com

Since I have a popular Italian last name...it has been registerd a long time ago. But I did register my name with my middle name.com and also registerd my wifes name. Not sure why I reg. these since I am not famous...and will most likely never use them since your better off having privacy then make a website with all your fucking info, photos and life story.

yep oi got it

My name is very common so I don't own it. I did own the .us of my name at one point but let it expire.

I use it for my mainstream business
