Hello,
I tend to play the 'long game' with online businesses and websites I start. Was thinking of creating a domain that's just myname.com (my full name is only 10 letters, not bad)
These days, I feel like your name is part of your brand. If you're a consultant or salesperson or even a writer/speaker or expert in some type of niche, your name is part of your brand.
I work as a recruiter and I write a lot of articles, blog posts, etc. I trade stocks, I am trying to get into some freelance sales work, etc. So I don't know wtf I'd use the site for. Maybe an online portfolio, or a home base for my consulting biz , or even a blog.
But I'm curious if anyone here uses their name as a domain name, and what their thoughts are on the pros/cons

Please help.
Thanks,
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

When I was a pleb and decided I wanted to be a webmaster, I thought the best domain for my site was my name. lol I bought my first name as a domain and put a forum on it. It was pretty huge and was around before forums were really a thing.
I recently bought my first and last name as a domain in hopes of putting a resume and portfolio of my work on it. I haven't had the time to do anything with the domain as of yet, but I hope I get a site up soon.
 
I am okay doing that with my username, not sure about my real name. In any case, I'd use it for a portfolio or to showcase something I am doing like streaming, my drawings, or something like that. Unless I am going serious with it, I doubt I'd ever do something like that.

The most I ever did once upon a time was a ".tk" domain, hahah
Which is free and not with the best reputation. X'D
 
I don't like using my real name for a brand - simply cause it seems narcissistic and uncomfortable. However, using my real name is what I do for my personal page - that I connect to all my forums (on the profile page).

Anyway, I don't mind if others use their name for a brand, though. For instance, I like the artist James Taylor, the guitar player. I don't mind he uses his real name.
