OK, the site is live at Dead Link Removed.

There's a blog, too. 'Cause god knows there aren't enough folks spouting opinions and writing about boring crap already.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Looking Good Michael, nice work......

Michael, well done. I agree with the full name, no matter how long it is.... Mine is nearly impossible to spell, pronounce, remember... but it works.

Looking at your name, looks like the first half of the last name, would be the part that throws most people. It looks German, so was probably originally written as Bönig, so it would be pronounced BAY-NIG, although most people probably get it wrong. You wouldn't believe how people butcher the pronouncing and spelling of my last name. Although the person who wrote it and forgot the m, annoyed me the most.....

Am I at least close?

You are close, German yes, although Boenig (Bönig) is pronounced similar to BUR-NIG (but drop the roll of the tongue on the "r" sound).

Why not get all the names and have them point to the one with your full name? Domain names are cheap!
