I haven't done what you are talking about. I did have the domain califmichele.com at one time. I was going by "Michele in California" online at the time and my email was califmichele (@ something). I wanted the domain name "michelesworld" but it wasn't available. It was a personal site of just stuff I was interested in, with no particular focus.
Trying to tell people the domain name verbally was a huge problem. My name is spelled with one L and many people automatically spell it with two. They also tended to think I meant Kalif or Caliph rather than short-hand for California. (As an aside: This was making me increasingly concerned that the site would attract the wrong kind of attention for the wrong reasons.)
I eventually left California and broke the site up into several sites, each with a specific topic focus. When I did so, I worked hard to find natural language domains that are easily conveyed verbally without having to spell them or add verbal explanations/provisos.
