Fruggums

Not the most memorable one but I'm utterly thankful it's 'internet-unique', there's only one Azhar Chougle that shows up when you Google it, and that's me. Hopefully it'll stay that way. 

My name not being memorable (here in America, not pronounceable either) is quite an irritant. Here I'm known solely as Az, Oz, Ozzie or (thankfully) rarely Azu. So outside of class, it's pretty difficult for anyone to find me online. So whenever it comes up, I have to find a piece of tissue paper (and then a pen) to jot it down or I have to spell it out - a-z-h-a-r-c-dot-com. That's irritating. What it means is that there's less of a chance that person will even end up paying me a visit (and let's get real - I'm going to be depending on that for an income pretty soon)

Paul Stamatiou had this problem too, which is why he got pstam.com because most people couldn't remember paulstamatiou.com

So I've cooked up my own fun strategy.

youforgotmyname.com ?

And I'm going to have a lot of fun with it. That domain (very surprising it was available, has no one thought of this before?) redirects to my personal website. Not only does this make it easier for me to refer people to my website (can't you just imagine it - "Yeah, just go to youforgotmyname.com" ... subsequently convincing them it isn't a joke) but there's a lot of things one can do with that sort of domain. It's such a curious dot-com that (hopefully) some people will be tempted to visit it once they hear or see it. And that's only more good for me.

So I'm going to put a little sign on my door that says youforgotmyname.com

A shirt, blank on the front, youforgotmyname.com on the back.

And bumper stickers - youforgotmyname.com!

See, isn't it just completely lodged in your head now? It's extremely memorable since it's a sentence.

Of course people will still forget my name, but at least they'll manage to get to it now.
