Using inline-blocks in header instead of floats

Hi!

I've tried to imlement the header using inline-blocks for positioning .main-nav and .name and faced with the following problem. It's easy to place .main-nav and .name on the same line next to each other with inline-block. But what is the best way to align them to the right and left side of the page respectively?

My solution:

.name {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 30%;
    text-align: left;
}

.main-nav {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 70%;
    text-align: right;
}

It works, but i'am not sure if it is the best way to align inline-blocks to the right and left sides of the page. Do you know a beter way or my solution is good enough?
