I also have an uncommon last name, and so have been able to register several TLD (com/net) domain names:

lastname.tld
firstnamelastname.tld

I've also had the hassle of the misspelling of my last name, which included flight tickets, hotel reservations, and most recently the car registration document for my latest vehicle!

For the majority of my e-mail correspondence, I have registered an easy to spell and remember domain name, and find that works well.
