Jealous of folks who have managed to snag international domain names consisting of nothing but their names? Engadget founder Peter Rojas has roj.as. And WordPress founder Matt Mullenwag has ma.tt. But unless you have an encyclopedic knowledge of domain naming conventions, you might have a hard time coming up with a domain name for your name.
DomainFinder can help. Just enter your name or any other phrase you like, and the web site will spit out possible domain names. You can't currently register your name through the site, or even figure out what country has the rights to a domain. But once you've found the domain name of your dreams, figuring out how to buy it shouldn't be too hard. Unless someone else has already registered downlo.ad.

when i put my name in 'steve' i got ste.ve', the problem is that Venezuela uses a prefex to the .ve url,
ie - .com.ve, so the url would be ste.com.ve.
