At the time I registered my domain the suffix was less important and interesting than the name itself. My name is 'Steve' so I wanted to have 'steve.xxx'. Sadly I missed out on the .com/.net/.org, but I did register steve.org.uk

Last year I moved to Finland, and on a whim I saw that steve.fi was due to expire in a couple of months. I figured since I was in Finland now I could claim that - and was lucky enough to grab it.

In conclusion: For a company/service the suffix matters, but for a personal site? I figured that people would get their via google, probably, but if not that it should reflect my name - which is a little selfish, but seemed more memorable.
