do you mean the holy grail of
firstname@gmail.com
or the slightly uncommon
firstnamelastname@gmail.com?
I got firstnamelastname@gmail.com when gmail was still 'invite only'.
The one drawback to that is there is a General in the U.S. Army with my exact name who doesn't understand how email works and apparently gives out my email address as his. I wish I knew what his actual email address was so I could let people know what it is. I bet he's missing out on a lot of VA functions and barber appointments because he couldn't be assed to remember his actual email address.
I have first name lastname too. And tbh… It’s a bit of a curse.
I have 2 swedish people wirh the same name as me give it to whatever websites they sign up for at random.
(I’m pretty sure its two people, but oculd also be one person)
I have firstname.lastname@ Gmail, again from when it was invite only, as well as yahoo, and Hotmail from when it hadn't been bought by MS
Thankfully only ≈ 800 people worldwide have the same spelling as my first name none of which are older than me, and none of them have the unique combo of my first and last name, so I don't have those shenanigans happening
Wait until a fantasy author gets hold of your name and has a very successful 4 series before it turns into miserable dross. Not so unique any more are ya, Khalesi?
