ColeSloth ( @ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de ) 20•4 months agoMan, Mine was Prowler587@aol.com (I changed the numbers for leave me alone purposes) and I made it in the 90’s when I was like 13. A lot of my screen names at websites continued to be that for several years and one of those sites I still get on and use.
Only years later as the internet evolve did I ever think to self reflect at how creepy a screen name that was while going around and hanging out in chat rooms. I picked the name because the Plymouth Prowler had just come out and I had it on one of my school folders and I thought the car looked really awesome.
TLDNR: Plymouth made me look like a creep.
idiomaddict ( @idiomaddict@feddit.de ) 15•4 months agoTen year old me got a beautiful white backpack and made the username whitebag567@gmail.com (numbers also changed), not realizing until over a decade later, that I seemed like a drug dealer.

MonkderZweite ( @MonkderZweite@feddit.ch ) 17•4 months agoNope, it’s in 13 leaks (haveibeenpwned) and full of spam. Though the provider can use it to train their spam filters.
u/lukmly013 💾 (lemmy.sdf.org) ( @user224@lemmy.sdf.org ) English2•4 months agoGood news — no pwnage found!
Interesting.
I made that email address when I was 8.
Though I’ve been always allergic to putting my main e-mail anywhere. Currently I have 14 active e-mail addresses due to that.
lichtmetzger ( @lichtmetzger@feddit.de ) 16•4 months agoWell I got incredibly lucky so I have a firstname@lastname.de address. Why would I ever give that up? 🥰
AlexJD ( @AlexJD@feddit.uk ) 13•4 months agoHonestly it’s so nice. I ended up buying lastname.tld so now I will always have firstname@lastname.tld even if I change provider because I can just point the domain to whatever provider I like.
howrar ( @howrar@lemmy.ca ) 3•4 months agoI envy all of you who have uncommon last names.

icedcoffee ( @icedcoffee@lemm.ee ) 9•4 months agoKinda bummed no one here is representing EarthLink gang. One of my professors used that email and it was clearly made in like ‘92
TronNerd82 ( @TronNerd82@lemmy.ml ) 6•4 months agoNot to be that guy, but ackshually EarthLink was founded in 1994 and, for all I know, may or may not have offered email yet at that point.
Also, AOL gang here, we can’t be friends.

I change the password to it whenever we move supplier, along with the SSID, and all my IOT devices just jump back in
