    Which is best?

    I wanted to buy a domain name for someone, the domain name being their name....but which is best? I can't decide.

    Surname.com

    That way they can do: forename@surname.com

    i wish.......that would have been taken a long time ago. And the forenamesurname.com was also taken.......damn realtor grrrrrrrrrr

    And to clear up confusion, the choices would be something like

    www.president-gringo.com
    or
    www.presidentgringo.net

    obviously, thats not it, but you get the drift.

    Unless they will be submitting the names to the search engines, I would do: www.presidentgringo.net.

    The "hypens" are usually meant for SE's. People don't normally think to add the hypen otherwise if typing the name in the browser.

    I think .com version would be better for development.

    I 've no idea about their respective valuations.

    How about: Surnames.info; .INFO will suit well with this particular name. Let me put this up for valuation to see what folks think.

    Umm...Quick question. If this is your fiancee and you will someday get married, I hope you are buying, HerforenameYourSurname.whatever....

    Just something to think about. By the way, before I forget, Congrats!!!

    I think she will. A personal domain can say things jewelry can't---and of course they are cheaper too!!

    ya should have seen the ring she got........she nearly pee'd herself when she found out how much it cost.....and the place she took it to get apprasied at was shocked at the quality.

    i think you'll agree its a unique design (well, it was designed by a famous brit designer).

    you could always get a .name address .... just a thought

    then you'd have forename.surename.name and forname@surname.name - in case you didn't know.

    .com Gringo. The hyphen helps you visualize the name. Surprised you suggested .us....that could be confusing for a "name" domain for Britian... people may aske if she moved to the states?!

    I voted .com.
