“…i’m afraid most people would automatically do .com…”
Is the whole web going dot-com? That domain is for businesses, yet everyone seems to use it, why? Dot-com is no more legitimate than anything else. Even obviously non-profit sites have COMs (i.e. getfirefox.com, under mozilla.org). And individuals have them as well (ryanrahn.com). For individuals dot-net makes sense, or a region specific domain (.us, .ca, .de) but again, dot-com makes no sense. Sure we have an e-business explosion, but why should we steal all the commercial domains?

.net is for network service providers, so makes even less sense for individuals than .com does.
I wouldn’t say it makes *less* sense. A personal domain is providing a network service (and is “on the ‘net”, etc). A personal domain is in no way providing commercial services.
Yes, these days .name or your country’s TLD is probably the “right” solution.
