I already own a domain based on my name. I have a low grade fear of someone taking the domain, either through underhanded means, or by bullying through legal means. I've had my domain more than a decade. There is at least one online business that has since cropped up recently, that uses all the words of my domain as the words in their apparent business name.<p>Losing my domain would be a nightmare. It's my identity (and after 10+ years it feels as much like my identity as my given name), and it's a key to passwords for almost all my business relationships.
