ok.  I wanted to post some funny names, but if you are really serious, then here is a serious answer:

If you are intending to build a brand around your name then it is important to find something that is unique on the Internet.  You want to get indexed at the top of the search engines. Especially google.  - So that when people search for your web site, it will be the first to come up.  The trick is to find a name that is truly unique.  The last name is most important.  Start by making a long list of names that you like and go to http://www.internic.net and do a "whois" search to see if a .com domain is available.  If it's a name that you really like, but its taken, you can get a ".us" or ".biz" or ".info" but those are not as good as a ".com" domain. Throw out the ones that already are owned.  Then go to google and search on the available names.  Throw out the ones that have lots of results.  What you ideally want is a name that you can get as a dot-com and one that is not common.  And of course, you want a name that "fits you" - but that is more of a personal decision.

BTW: Very beautiful port!

Hey,
Thanks for taking the time to think about this. You are absolutely right. People make names, Names don't make people. I am changing it only because my name carries a burden which I no longer want to carry. I hope it will go away with name change..
