Family domain name extension choices

2 points by stirfrykitty ↗ HN
My wife has expressed an interest in getting a family domain name that I would manage for us and and the children. Everyone would get fn@domain name.

What would HN say is the better choice:

fn@surnamefamily.org

or

firstname@surname.family

I'm not sure which would be better. I also wonder how viable anything not com/net/org really is.

The latter will still get rejected by a lot of software with crappy regex validation, fwiw.

The latter may lead to some registrar problem, and the former would be fine, but I'd recommend the format following `fn@surname.countrycode` or `fn@surnamefamily.countrycode` (or even with a `-` in-between `surname` and `family`).
