I don't and to be honest I've never really thought about it before. I just checked (christianwatson.com) and there's nothing there right now so maybe it's even available!

Yup, certainly do although I was a bit gutted that timfletcher.com had gone and I was 'stuck' with my full name of timothyfletcher.com. I reasoned that I should snap it up now before it went. I'll have to have a son of the same name so I can pass it on as a family heirloom.

Yeah, I own my name domain names. Likewise, I own them just so that I own them, I just have them redirect to my resume.

Originally, I intended it to have my portfolio on there, but it's been over a year now and the portfolio still isn't up. Oh well, eventually.

I have rob.crowther.name - though all it does is redirect to another site I own. It also has a mostly unused blog which came free with the domain. Anyone else have a .name domain?

samroth.com was taken, but I do own samroth.us. It is currently the site for my rarely updated blog, but I may expand it to include information about my design services.

I do but it isn't .com. Whoever owns OliverWhite.com hasn't done anything with it either, which is probably what would happen if I owned it.

Yes, I own my name. benhaan.com. I just started using it for a blog. Before that I just used to host scripts that I would write and projects. I hope to make more use of it and get better SE on it in the future.

Yes, I do. I use it as a sort of index for a couple of my other sites. I've only owned it for a year or so, though, maybe not even that long, come to think about it.

jbaker071 — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:47:51

I wish I owned my own domain – instead it's owned by a actor/model/race car driver who uses his site for god knows what. I've settled with byjoeybaker.com, which works, but I wish I could just own my own name. Ah well, can't get it all.

My name tops out at my domain (though it's not myname.com).

I've pleaded with Time Warner for somebody in their server-farm to assign me oli.warner.com but no love so far ='(

Tyme — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:26:34

Yup, I do but I admit I only registered it about a year or two ago. My domain names usually have my name in it so I didn't have that issue. Right now it's not even pointing to anything...perhaps I should do something with that lol.

Do you own yourname.com? I own paulscrivens.com for no other reason than to just own it and maybe one day move it up to the top of the SE results for 'Paul Scrivens'. Do you own your name and if it not and it isn't taken why not?
