Mine is my first and last name. The feeling of redundancy between the username and the domain name went away after a while, and I prefer it over a surname domain (they just seem cheesy).
Big win with a personal domain is if someone already knows how to spell your name, they know how to spell your e-mail, too. This is really handy for giving your e-mail over the telephone, and a great alternative to some cryptic username that has to be spelled out.
