Do you own a domain name with your full name (first and last)?
Just wondering.
If yes, do you put some of your personal stuff (weblog and what not) on the website or use it as a commercial purposes?

I have my full name .com and just put files that I need wherever I am on it, so really there's nothing the world can see...I also use it for email.

I got a slacker site (meaning a site about me that rarely gets updated) that has a weblog, a gallery, and a review section... I use my nickname as the domain name :D

I have http://www.isherwood.id.au/ , Isherwood being my last name. We only use it for email really, nothing much on the http side of things.

I originally had <mylastname>.com.au, however registration fees for australian domains was expensive at that point in time, and having to register it as a business name to .com was a pain too.

So i just registered a similar name to my online nickname and created a company out of it (merkworx).

Yes, along with about another 20 or so domain names from business ventures...
