My name's ever so common - it's taken in all the popular domain extensions, all the major email services, most of the social sites (I got in early on Twitter!). It's a pain; I don't want to use a "nickname" and I really don't want numbers at the end of my name.

Then again, because so many people share my name, I'm barely traceable on Google which I quite like.

(It's the reason I use the startup email provider Zenbe. They had my name available. I just hope they don't go tits up!)
