So I’m planing making a new personal email, but I don’t I don’t know how it should be!
examples:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
Gime your ideas!
BIG EDIT: Thanks for your answers!
This email is personal, and apart from giving it to friends, bank, gov and couple bill companies, I won’t give it anywhere else. Also the privacy people where to much IMO, not easy to remember number and letters.
I have two addresses that both end up in the same inbox. The other is firstname.lastname and I only give that to people/businesses that know my name anyway - everyone else gets the other one which doesn’t include my name.
Buy a domain, and you have all of the addresses.
For personal email [email protected]
Our family all have their own initialslastname.eu or .nl domain for official stuff.

Pretty happy with that, it wasn’t available 10 years ago, someone obviously gave up squatting it.
In the late 90s I was crushed to find my lastname.com/.net/.org had all been registered by a family-run business that’s been operating in my grandparents’ home country for 200 years. Looks like they’re still around, too.
You could always email them asking for a subdomain!
Or join them!
I thought about it back then but they’re pretty big now. Very modern website and they deliver anywhere in Europe
Offer them drop shipping services to wherever you are 😆
its pretty hard to get anything without numbers or such. are you running your own? If so I would just take something you like that is easy to spell and hopefully our domain is short and easy to spell.
The key is simply signing up to gmail 15± years ago
I never have anything that can identify my real name in the address. Why make it easy for data scrapers?
Is this common? I thought we were supposed to use [email protected] for personal, and just avoid using it for any spammy stuff. Instead use it for Work and contacting real people
Maybe common, but not advised. The only place I willingly follow real name protocols in emails is in dedicated work intranets where corporate policy dictates how addresses go.
Anything on the open web is anonymized as much as I can make it. Fake address, fake user details, everything. There is no privacy in systems connected to the unrestricted internet.
For stuff like government and bills receipts, mainly and then for friends. I won’t give it to subscribe on YouTube or anything like this, because I have another email for stuff like these.
You can register an email address as “jigglypuff666forever” or whatever nonsense you want. The government certainly doesn’t give a shit, and as long as your family and friends know that a specific string of numbers and letters means “you” in the address book, why does it matter?
If you’re worried about professionalism, I don’t really see much difference between “[email protected]” and “[email protected]” except one tells the world your full name, and the other just gives away that you like gardening. Both are equally G-rated and acceptable, but only one is a security nightmare.
Still, I want my name in it, so people know it’s and only me! Not just couple letters and numbers, that can confuse others.
That’s no guarantee. I met a guy with my same first and (fairly rare) last name when I traveled to another city. Now I know to whom the banking emails I get belong. And, while they practice better data security now, a few years ago I could tell you every time he bounced a check.
Not guarantee if you live in USA I should guess? My name and last name is not so common in my country.
Do not use your real name or any other personally identifiable information in your email address.
Why do you need to use your full name? I’ve never had issues with my [email protected] style email account. Not with official government stuff and not with work related things.
[email protected] is frustrating to attempt to spell out to the clerk at the other side of the counter.
And just try reading it over the phone to someone, especially a non-native-english speaker.
My personal email is first initial with last name, which I can simply tell them without having to try to spell anything out.
I have a state job tho, and there it’s first initial and middle initial and last name, why the hell… now I can’t email a colleague without looking at a sheet to find their middle initial. Stupid.
E like easter, L like love, I like Iron, T like toast, E like Easter again, H like Hood, 4, X like X, 0 and R like Ring @ email.com.
And you have to memorize it! Cause giving it daily its gonna be nuts.“M, as in Mancy”
I prefer shorter emails like “dbusey@…” but to each his own.
Same. I use my initials and a number, so [email protected].
Nice try!
my preferred name (short version of my name) is a few letters long
[email protected]
[email protected]…the result of having an extremely rare last name.
Shit, we found John Tutamail!!!
I tried that, unfortunately my last name is also a brand of water. So I had to use @lastname.co which was available, but people kept adding the m and I missed on emails so I had to not do that hahahah
