Would love to get some input on a domain name. :)

I'm using my name and and not a business name, but I can't make up my mind on
what would sound best. (Also my last name is super common, but it's not "Americanized" it's the "old" spelling, so I'm not sure if I should leave it out)

I'm leaning heavily to:

FirstName LastName Photography.com

OR just First and Lastname.com

other options:

Photography by FirstName.com
FirstInitial LastName Photos.com

Have you checked to see what is available? That alone may make the decision for you.

If so.... What ever one is easiest to remember. Cute and clever have run its coarse. Common convention deferes to the shortest you can use that is easily remembered. So if your name is not a common spelling it may not be memorable. On the other hand depending on the name, it may be very memorable.

I've just spent some time plugging away and Firstname Lastname is unavailable.
Doh:o should have though of that earlier.

First initial and Lastname is also unaivailable. Everything else, especially anything with photo or photography is available.

For domains, the shorter the better.

How about firstinitial lastinitial photo.com ?

That one is already taken as well. :( First Last Initial Picture is available but not sure how much I like it. And I think First- Middle- Last-Initial Photo.com is kind of long..

I don't want to change it after getting it the first time so I'm kind of overthinking it, maybe.
