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 '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!!!

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 :eek:

then you'd have forename.surename.name and [email protected] - 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.
