Yes. Personally i would NEVER use hythons, i HATE them! So, either change the name or just have .net/org.

Most people hate Hyphens in domains. I used to hate them too but one post on some other forum changed my way of thinking about them. If the Google webmaster guidelines recommend hyphens in URLs for spiders, why not you use them in domains too to make it easy for spiders?

Thanks!
Well, if your website is classified or somehow classified as organization, go for .org but if your website is somehow classified as a network, go for .net and when neither of the two can fit your website... you can put hyphen between your keywords and take .com as your TLD. Example: kw1-kw1.com. Just avoid using "_" underscore or other special characters.

well it really doesn't matter if it's .com. or .org in terms of google, but visitors tend to remember .com domains alot easier, and sometimes try .net or .org web sites with a .com instead
