On this note, could anyone come up with one for me? My name is Jesse Stippel, it's Austrian - Again the surname + 1st name doesn't really flow well. Studio + Skye (My middle name) = Skyedio.com? I dunno...
I'd pick something that's easy to spell and pronounce for anglophones. I used to have my name+surname as my domain but apparently lots of people have trouble with portuguese names. Your full name sounds a bit complicated, perhaps you could break it up?
First of all, I don't think name + surname .com will work for me. Not the easiest name to spell; either by phone, by face to face, or by messaging. My official nickname is Ron, but barely anyone calls me that. So no point picking it. I usually go by PyrZern or shortened to Pyr online. And I been going with PyrZern.net for…

use your real name. People will be able to associate your work to you better and you will gradually build up recognition. Who knows what nickname you will be using a year or two from now? Dassani.com sounds good to me..
@cookedpeanut: I am glad I could bring you some joy, and on that note I can't believe I didn't come up with: stipplingnipples.com It takes part of your name while simultaneously relating to a method of shading in art and still keeping the humor!
