Despite there being a couple ways to spell my first name and literally dozens of ways to spell my last name, I share the same name as a rock star of similar age as myself down to the letter.
While I do understand I didn't necessarily need a ".com" TLD URL and that I had other TLD options, it was the first availability I checked for obvious reasons; this is how I discovered my semi-famed name-double. I eventually went with a ".net" TLD URL of my name and it's turned out alright so far -- and it makes perfect sense to me that my alternate actually should have the ".com" version instead of myself. I'm content, likely even happy, with how things turned out.
I agree and I have a story to add to this.
