      This is the way. It’s way more professional than a freemail account (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc)

      My last name ends in “us”, so I have my last name as my full domain (a .us top level). Pretty proud of myself for figuring that out. 😆

      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.

        Is your last name “Incorporated”?

    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.
