If you could register a personal .ie domain, such as yourname.ie OR
yourname.me.ie would you do it?

If *.me.ie were available (or some derivative thereof, though name.ie seems a bit silly) would you use it?

My name is not catchy enough and as Cormac said, I might be famous one day, so why ruin the good feeling?

So none of you have any real interest in your own names?

'What is in a name....?'

i'd register my own name but not for 50ish euro, i'd consider it if it was less than 20. I'm not fussed thou as I have the .com and my name isn't exactly common.

I wouldn't say that, exactly. I'd be sort of lost without it. I might even have an identity crisis. What would people call me? [don't answer that last - this forum doesn't allow vulgarities ]

Seriously though... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can only register my full name if I'm President, a sitting TD [or election candidate], a solicitor, doctor or the like. Otherwise I'm restricted to my initials followed by digits. "roc01.ie" doesn't look very inspiring.

And what would I use it for? Good if I'm running a blog or have a huge ego, but apart from that.....?

Read my original post... Forget the current rules.
Try to think of a world in which .ie domains were as easy to register as .co.uk
