How do you name your spaces?

Let's say you're starting a new project and you pick your own name (or your company name) as default namespace, how would you do it?
In my case: Sander.Rossel or SanderRossel?

I'd go for SanderRossel as Sander.Rossel would imply I'd actually have Sander.SomethingElse, which clearly isn't the case.
Judging from what I've seen the Sander.Rossel style is the more frequently used though.

I've seen both methods and I was wondering which people prefer.

Try Sander.CatOwner, or Sander.Wood.Smooth perhaps?

we choose internal names.

For example our current re-write of the underwriting system is called Brian (after the life of Brian film).

Ain't that the truth,

I 'know' it was made in 1975, and I watched it in 1975, but when you put it like that,

It's another dimension!

ProjectX for the primary namespace and then ProjectX.Whatever, etc., maybe ProjectX.Model, ProjectX.DAL, ProjectX.Common where ProjectX is the name of the project. And sometimes it is.

I follow the Java standard for package names, so everything is under com.vilmos. Actually that's a lie, it's mostly com.lexa, but that's because there is a master project called Lexa.

Bleh, I hate that convention... Why, when I'm searching through my endless list of dependencies (Don't get me started...), should I have to remember whether it's a com, net, or org?

.NET just does it better (Like so many things)... Anything in the basic framework is System., anything Windows-specific is Microsoft., and anything else is CompanyName.* or LibraryName.*

"CONSIDER using plural namespace names where appropriate."
