I was lucky enough to get my First and Last name combo in the dot com. I'm building my personal site with it. I had let it drop one time and some one grabbed it up. I waited, and waited, and waited! I am once again the happy owner of my own name. NameGrade

My name is owned by a Dr. in california, and the name is just directed to a parked network solutions page. So yeah, consider yourself one of the fortunate few. I've been thinking about approaching this person and seeing if they would be interested in sharing the .com landing page and in return I would help them build out a site. Anyway.. I HATE not owning my own dotcom name. But hey, I do own "myname"sucks.com ;)
