Decision time...

[Chryssta]

Huh, that sounds ominous, huh?

Okay people, here's my dilemma and why I'm asking you guys instead of just going with something: I'm buying a website and I need a name for the URL. I have choices, you'll notice them in the poll. I'd like to keep it being .com as much as possible, for no reason other than pure nerdism. Please vote or post or something? I'm leaning toward tygrez.com, but I dunno...

By the way, my pen name in full is Chryssta Tygrez Dragonety. And since it's to be a gallery of my art, it should have something to do with me, ya know?

Come to think of it, I think it's really just a tossup between tygrez.com and chryssta.com...  

[Lieutenant Turel]

It wouldn't let me vote. I got an error that said "Cannot Vote in Topic"  

[Chryssta]

Yeah, I keep getting that too... I think Gaia is breaking... again...  

[Lieutenant Turel]

I was going to vote for the one that incorporated all three parts of your pen name.  

[Chryssta]

Any particular reason why?  

[Lieutenant Turel]

Looked more professional to me  

[trash witch]

I like the one with all three parts too.

One of my favorite artists has something like that as his URL, with his full first name, middle initial, and full last name.

It does look a bit more professional. p: But Tygrez.com sounds awesome.

 

[Chryssta]

I'm also concerned about length and complexity... Such as, if I don't have business cards made up, but want to give out my url, would the more professional sounding one be the better if I forget part of it, or if they forget part when they go to it later? And on that note, should it be tygrez or tigrez? I never really did figure out which spelling I liked better...  

[Chryssta]

Oh yeah, by the way, in case you didn't know, that's the origin of my username too. It's my pen name. ^_^ Yes, I know, I'm a nerd. ~_~  

[Lieutenant Turel]

If you are serious about this for a business you need to be as professional as possible. You are competing with a lot of other artists and more professionalism will help you. An Avant Garde or obscure thing may have sentimental value to you, but it may not help future employers remember you at all.

Well, it's just that I was kinda thinking that if I ever got so lucky as to start an architectural firm, then it'd be named Tygrez Architecture... Should I have CTDragonety.com if I should be so lucky as to start the firm, shouldn't it be Tygrez.com? I'm way confused...  

[Lieutenant Turel]

Nice, you have/going for a M.Arch?
My sister is going to go for that. she wants to do architecture as well. Good luck, yeah  

[Chryssta]

Eventually... I'd like to get it before I turn 30, but I dunno how well that will work out...  

[Lieutenant Turel]

I'm hoping to apply for my MSW. So yeah, both of us should try for our Masters!  

[Chryssta]

At this point, I think I'd like to just make it to my bachelors degree... I'd be thrilled to get the Masters...
