I decided to do a little experiment to see how a random name would fare with IADB prebuilt SEO context in Google Search Engine. Too much time on my hands? Not really. I'm bench-marking our search engine optimization for actor websites.
I wanted to pick a name that is not too common, as I don't want to mess up SEO for some existing actors, but also wanted an American name that is short. I went to behindthename.com clicked through few options and ended up with this:

DAY 1: September 7th
I went to see what domain names are available. Usually FirstnameLastname.com is recommended,
but also FirstnameLastnameActor.com or ActorFirstnameLastname.com will do quite well. As luck would have it,
kyledane.com was available, so I got it.
After connecting it to an existing website, I tested it to make sure that a preview showed up on the homepage of the website (so that google can easily grab it) - there it was.
I performed the search for the domain name in google. Nothing yet. So I saved the search as my home page so that I won't miss it once it becomes available.
DAY X: Website showed up in search results
