Default dotmac account

imma buy a dotmac account because i want to make my own website... just a thought, which do you think looks better?

rai.santos or raisantos

i want to use my name so it's a bit formal... it will be used in the site address and as my primary email address too (i.e. rai.santos@mac.om or raisantos@mac.com and address would be similar to www.mac.com/raisantos)

or maybe i should go with something more creative... like not using my name...

thanks guys..

Without the period is fine and easier to type.

Personally I like the period, it clarifies your name very well.

I like the periods - - - rai.santos

It may help when you giving the name out and have to spell it out.

I prefer "R-A-I-dot-S-A-N-T-O-S" over "R-A-I-S-A-N-T-O-S", the dot breaks it up.

I have first@last.name, and first@last.org. Both used only for email forwarding at the moment. Better than a mac.com addy IMO. Although, perhaps more expensive (it's dirt cheap, but no hosting fees atm).

Another vote for the dot.

The power is in the dot.
