would you use your name for a website?

[Ken Hicks]

I currently purchased a domain name for a website and now i'm thinking it might not have been a good idea. but i wanted everyones opion if they would use their name for their website to promote your real estate business. for example mine is www.kenhicksjr.com I'm not a politician or anyone really, just trying to make a name in realestate for myself so when somone heres ken hicks they will think of a real estate investor and that might lead to more leads. these domain names are cheap and i can easly purchase a new one like khjhomes.com well let me know

I think the most important qualifier would be, what is your purpose of the website. To pull prospects off of search engines, or to give to people you meet.
To pull prospects off of search engines, yes, an SEO optimized domain name is important, even if it not easily remembered(spelling, dashes, .net, .com. biz, etc...)
To give to people you meet, the easiest name to remember is more important, and to have your own personal name as the domain is best.
Now, .name domains are available and there is a good chance that your name will be easily acquired.

All the best!
