I now have a name@surname.net email, and I feel like a boss everytime I give it to someone
This is the way. It’s way more professional than a freemail account (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc)
I also got myself a surname.me domain for this reason. Now I feel like a boss.
p.s. I’m also a bit scared if the .me domain could be called of by the country,. since it’s not a genericTLD, controlled by Montenegro.
same, I feel lucky to have such an uncommon surname because I easily got the domain lol. there was a short version with the last two letters as the TLD but that was already taken sadly

My last name is too common and shared by some large companies to get anywhere close to it as a domain name.
I got <surname>-net.com, which is still cool I guess.
I was on a conference call with this guy I work with an HR. We had to go on a work trip together and she was getting out contact info for the flight.
She wanted our personal emails due to work email limitations. I just give the first initial last name thing.
The guy I worked with paused for a moment and said…”Iliketurtles” haha I’m pretty sure he made an adult email after that.
Are you telling me that xxXProGamer360NoScopeXxx isn’t a good username?
How did you get my work email?
me, recognizing this problem at 16, and spending literally like a week coming up with the perfect username
Your example is pretty amazing, I have seen your username everywhere, assuming it’s all the same person.
Meanwhile I have a different one per account. Not even trying to hide my identity, I just can’t decide. This is also why I don’t have tattoos.

I’m just glad I started using the internet when my regular name was still available at the popular mail providers back then. Young folks now are pretty much forced to throw in their middle name, nickname, birth year or whatever…
I can’t even remember my first email address. Not the handle or the server. I only remember as far back as Hotmail, which was like the 4th or 5th email I had. Mostly because my Microsoft login still uses that one.
