In search of a name...

I've discovered it is fairly impossible to find a decent .URL with a name like 'Chris Moore'.

I'm in the process of developing a new website with the assistance of my very talented coworker Rasheid Atlas (who has the coolest name out there BTW), check out his other work:

On the naming tip, my wife and I are still on the hunt for the perfect name for our forthcoming first child. Of course the geek in me has to check each one against a URL to make sure that our decision is somewhat informed by the chance that he/she may be able to still score "www.gertrudemoore.com" - Don't worry, Gertrude is not one we're going for.

Here's what I've determined - If you've got a last name like "Moore" , you're going to have to get creative.

Additonally, if you have the good fortune to have a fellow like-namer that has done something notable then you are doublly-screwed.

Case-in-point - me.

Famous British funny-author Christopher Moore of course has all the first picks.

Then a host of other not-as-notable Chris Moore's (illustrators, photographers, etc) have snatched up anything remotely useable.

Thanks guys.

Where is the love?

It's looking bleak for me at this point & I may have to resort to hyphens, umlauts & other such easily-mistyped, misguided web wayfinding tactics. unfair.

I do know this - As any good parent would, I will do my best to secure a decent name (and decent URL) for my future offspring. Something no one else can ever touch....
