First initial and full last name, 6 characters which is the minimum for Gmail. Thank you younger responsible self!
Hope you’re a responsible adult
At 15: I better get an email address that reflects my interests and personality!
At 25: Ok ok my name is the only permanent thing about me so it should be based on my name.
At 35: why am I revealing this much personal information in my email address? I should just have a random jumble of letters.
I use proton and they have this feature to generate a random email address based on the sits or a note. It’s a little more advanced then user+microsoft@proton.me. and you can deactivate the address so your main inbox stops getting spam.
My man!
I’m at that last stage now but fuck I’m too lazy to change again 🤣
At least I have my burner address…
Young age: “xXx_pussyslayer666_xXx@notevilmail.com is a cool e-mail address!”
Early adulthood: “Noooo, I need to be professional, my mail is now johnsmith1994@notevilmail.com!”
Late adulthood: “For the sake of my privacy, I"m now using xXx_pussyslayer666_xXx@privacymail.com.”
Look, I got a DEFINITIVE ARTICLE and NO numbers. Only the OGs rock that stuff.
I miss my dimbulb@poop.com email.
Rocking my Hotmail since 1998.
Still ocassionaly typo HotMale and get a surprise.
Also still remember the throwaway my friend and I created to sign up for porn site newsletters on dial-up.
I made a sensible email address with my last name followed by my first initial when google mail first started. Young people are always in awe of the fact that I got to have my name as my email address without adding anything extra to it.
On the other hand, my six letter Gmail address now constantly gets messages from people who mistyped their email addresses when signing up for things.
Yep. I’m old enough to have 2 such email addresses.
I was that dumb kid who got my first gmail invite from a friend and never thought to use my first name/last name because it was during the time that we all were supposed to be ‘anonymous’ as everyone on the internet was a murderer.
Forever ago, in a post about “applying for jobs after graduating college” tips on Ask[fuckyouspez], I suggested creating a new email address like FirstName.MI.LastName and use that for applying to jobs, definitely don’t use your old email like Xx_PussyDestroyer420_xX@hotmail.com.
I got banned from the sub for violating their rule of “don’t post emails addresses”.
I have hundreds of e-mail addresses and aliases…

Email aliases incredibly underrated

My email is banchotxx😂
poopybutthole@hotmail.com checking in!
I mean, you are allowed more than one email address
First initial, last name, never fails. Except when you change your name. Then it fails.
Susan Hart disagrees.
So does Alan Buser.
I dont know why but this reminds me of the joke in arrested development where tobias wanted to be an analytical therapist and he made it into the portmanteau “analrapist” 😂
Anal bum cover
Ok, so it also fails sometimes when your name is unfortunate. But other than those times that it fails, it never fails.
60% of the time it works every time 😉
Sadly my name is slightly common but I’ve had my Gmail account since it was invite only. I’m not a Google fan but there is my entire life in that email history…
I have extended family life never met use my Gmail (firstletterlastname) as theirs because they forget to add the numbers or whatever else they used to create theirs.
Same. To make things worse, my distant great grand cousin who I’ve never even talked to, is both illiterate and dyslexic.
I know because I get all his mails, including the one where he signed up for courses for dyslexia.
I told the school to call him instead. I guess they get that a lot.
I have full name, no numbers. I think it’s from 2005 or 2006…
I knew two D. Adcocks. Their email address must be fun.
I worked with a Barb Adcock! Her E-mail was indeed [firstinitial][lastname]@school, which must’ve been a hoot with students.
Surely, someone should’ve seen Barb and my acquaintances and give them
[first**name**][lastname]@server.comemail addresses.On a similar topic to your story, my mother worked at a high school when I was young, and in her second marriage her last name was Dick. Only took a couple weeks for her to go back to going by her maiden name at the school.
Double dadcocks.
