Renewing your name

I received an email reminder that I needed to renew my domain name.

For the past year or two, I have been known on-line as "ronbaker.ca."  Since I’m from Canada, and my name is Ron Baker, seemed like a great name to use.  People could remember who I was — of course, for those of you who went to "ronbaker.com"  you found out there are car salespeople with the same name.  I also could easily remember my name.

So, today, I renewed my name.

Almost a religious experience.

I could have cancelled my name.  No one would have found me in the next little while!

I could renew my name.  All that I had built up as far as reputation (as few as read this blog!) would remain intact.  So, I pushed the renew button.  I still have a few more things I would like to write on this blog (sorry for the holiday the last few days — got rather busy and figured my ramblings after midnight weren’t worth listening to).

As to the religious experience? 

I know in the Bible a few people changed their names (Saul being one notable example).  I suppose some times we need to leave an old name behind.  On the internet all sorts of names are used to express people’s desires.  Take a look around the internet and see what names people use.  What would you use for your "domain name?"
