From memory you can choose whatever you like.

Thanks. Does anyone have any advice for choosing a good tag name? For example, is it better to have one near the beginning of the alphabet.

Cheers all

I don't see any benefit in having a good or bad tag name. It's probably a good idea to select a tagname whereby you have the same .co.uk - so if your tag is CHEESE then your website is cheese.co.uk.

Having said that, you can opt to be a bit more elusive and have a tag that's completely random and unconnected with your business/trading name.

All depends on the use of the tag and whether applying as an individual / soletrader / business.

I've 2 tags (linked). One is my surname for individual use, another a business tag.

From history most tags relate to an individuals name unless business releted when it's a shortened version.

Nominet have a list of current tags on their site. Have a look.
