First and foremost, I'd like to state that I'm not expecting a definitive answer here, only your best 2cents :)
Assuming #1 for "Firstname Lastname", for that matters, is "firstnamelastname.com"; and assuming it is indeed the most relevant SERP for this keyword: one who's searching "Firstname Lastname2" aims to get to this very site, and not to others.
My site is "firstnamelastnameonline.com": is there any special, specific, pratice I can utilize to compete for this keyword ?
I'd appreciate your thoughts and comments.
Regards
Assaf

[edit reason] make keyword more generic [/edit]
Also, in the case of a person's name, there's a chance that the Whois information may come into play (I haven't verified this) and if the site you are competing with is registered to Firstname Lastname, you may simply be out of luck.
