Name for portfolio site?

What url would be the best for my online portfolio?

The advantage of the jaw-art.com option is that it is more memorable than just a name & it is more unique - the majority might just use their names as the url. However, the jasonwain.com option sounds more professional.

Have you any alternative ideas?

Cheers,
JAW

Difficult one.

jaw-art doesn't say much about photography and people might think you paint or draw instead. I'm not as keen on that one.
jasonwain could also be about anything but plenty photographers use just their names and is the safe bet
wain-photography is possibly a bit tacky but does let you know exactly what it is and also sounds fairly professional

I honestly don't know what's best. I'd prob go with the photography one but it's a toss up between that and your name.

But what do I know? My zenfolio gallery is my old nickname - The Flying Pie!

Cheers for your thoughts. The Flying Pie is probably a good choice as it certainly sticks in your memory!

I would say jasonwain.com as its more flexible if you wish to use it as an all round portfolio site at a later date.

True. I've just thought of 2 other potentials:

jawain.com (ja being the initials of my first names)

jawainphotography.com (could be photographic instead and could have a dash between jawain and photography)

Any further thoughts?
