I favored .per (for Personal) myself, which would have been consistent with the earlier TLDs which consisted of three letter abbreviations of different categories of entities. .name sounds a little silly, since *all* domain names are names, aren't they? However, I agree that the creation of a structure for .name that makes it uninteresting to speculators is an intentional design feature of the TLD, and that it might actually succeed for its intended purpose. --Dan Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dantobias.com/
