Originally posted by NickFitz View Postbilly-pilgrim.com is also available. If you can live with the hyphen that might be a viable option. Bear in mind that most people will probably arrive via a link, whether from an email, another site, or a search engine, so the risk of people mistyping it without the hyphen might not be much of a problem.
This comes from bitter experience: as owner of various domain names, the "clever" ones such as "myco-ltd.com" are a PITA because people NEVER remember them correctly. Whereas stuff like "moon pig" is dead easy to remember.Comment

I have myco.co.uk on automatic forward to myco.com, but never use the co.uk in anything. I just bought it so no-one else can have it. Personally don't see any particular benefit in having a co.uk domain, it's too faffy for my liking.Comment

I own <myco>.com but as my company is about to close I don't have much use for it.
However for personal use I'd have thought most people would want their domain to be <your surname>.com so they could accept email to anything@<your surname>.com.
Obviously some surnames are very common so you may have to find a different suffix. I ended up with <gadgetman>.net.Comment
