To hyphenate or not to hyphenate--a poll

[ksmith]

I will be purchasing a domain in the very near future. I can opt for a hyphenated name, as I did with kristine-smith.com, or go with nonhyphenatedname.net. I wondered if folks had a preference.


[Poll #1117448]

UPDATE: So far, the voting is: hyphen.com--7 8 votes; no hyphen.net--20 24 votes. I appreciate the comments.

Ah. I couldn't get kristinesmith.com when I set up my website--it was taken by someone named Smith for, iirc, his daughter, so I didn't ask to see if he'd leave it go. The hyphen does make it easier to read since it is kind of a longish name.

I wasn't sure if .net was a stumbling block or not.

"I wasn't sure if .net was a stumbling block or not."

The .net is not as common as the .com (though I see a lot more of them nowadays) but it is better than a hyphen, I think. The hyphen key on a keyboard is an awkward stretch to reach too.
