Thanks for the advice. Would you consider 'yunar' to be a spell-able name? The name sure looks pretty, it's pronouncable, but something tells me it's hard to spell and hard to remember. I've been struggling for months on whether I should use it or not.

Be sure to register every conceivable misspelling of your chosen name. Twiddla, for instance, gets maybe 3% of its traffic at twidla.com, and another few percent from Google searches for "Twiddle".

If you can't read your name over the phone without clarification, pick another one.

ps. I'd vote against going with Yunar. Besides having 7 plausible spellings, it just sounds bad.

well straight away I can think of

younar youner yuner

I guess it depends on how you say it and how people pick it up - ask 20 people you know to spell it for you after you say it just once to them and see what the results are like ...
