      This is more of a survey than anything.

      If your name was Jeremy Parker, and you were to start a personal blog/site. Assuming jeremyparker.com was not available, which domain would you go with?

      1. jeremyparker.net

      2. jeremy-parker.com

      3. jerpark.com

      4. Other.

      From an SEO standpoint it would be unlikely to make a difference.

      But from a branding standpoint. Which one would you perceive to be best?

      Thanks.

        jeremyparker.net would be best from an SEO standpoint.

        jerpark.com could work, if that's what you want to brand yourself as (JerPark). It's short and easy to type.

          I prefer the top 2. 1 because it's the actual name together, 2 because it's the name with a dot com.  I don't prefer 3 and without knowing what's available, 4 is possible but it depends.  (I'd take jparker, I wouldn't take JeremyParkr, etc.)

          parkerjeremy.com maybe?

          thejeremyparker.com ?

          Plenty of options depending on the use, as well. I've seen things like j-parker work as well.

                i vote for JEREMYPARKER.NET

                but if you are in a specific field, perhaps something like:

                Jeremyparkerpizza.com

                JeremyparkerSEO.com

                also, have you checked abbreviations?

                JParker.com

                JPark.com

                JMParker.com

                heck, make up a middle name letter and use that:

                JZParker.com

                  Thanks for the advise. Seems most would prefer the dot net,
