is a .name EMD worth it?

Hi, BHW memebers, i'm expanding my niche to try a new good keyword so i went to register a domain and all the .com .org .net are taken so i'm thinking what should do next, i thought about getting a .name domain, but i never tried before and don't know how it plays with google. So i fired up Mareket Samurai and searched for a domain with their domain tool, the first results were domains .com but with letter "e" or the word "the" as a prefix, and some with the word "sit", "blog", "review", "guide" as a suffix.
So should i go with an EMD on a differrent extension or should i add a letter at the beggining or the end of the domain but on .com extension, or go with a hyphened one?
Thanks for reading the whole thing

I bought a .name few days ago, but it was 6yrs old. So I asked the same question few days ago but no good response. I am thinking to promote and test .name myself after if I see good ranking thn I will post here. good luck

I've always read that you always should buy .com names because if you don't, people assume that your website ends with .com suffix and this way you'll lose a considerable percentage of your type-in visitors. But if your .name website domain name is memorable enough, maybe you can overcome this. Some examples are ******, linklicious.me, etc ... good luck!

Thanks for the answers guys, i'm thinking about adding a suffix to a .com, i'm hoping for more answers about this matter

I wouldn't hold your breath on a .name

I've never, ever seen one rank.

True. OP your best bet is to focus on a .com domain with your main keyword accompanied with a suffix or a prefix. Keep in mind that the shorter the domain name is, the better.
