I weakened and bought my surname in the ".me" domain.

I experienced a brief moment of envy when I saw the domain "bobparsons.me" was in the reserved names list, but then I realized he should have got "parsons.me" since then he could share it with his family and not be stumped for what will go before the "@" ;)

Finally an email address which I SHOULDN'T have to spell out to people.
