Best Answer

You can have a domain name which is your birth name, nick name or pet name.

The only limitations in choosing a domain name are

  • Availability - has someone else already registered the name
  • Necessary restrictions - you can't register example.com
  • No blanks or space characters in domain name
  • There are disallowed characters like ? and \

See the external link, further down this page, for more information about disallowed characters.

I would suggest not using any name which is offensive or inflammatory but I don't believe there are any legal restrictions except libel.

You'll need to register your new domain name. The cost is about $9 USD for most domain names.
