So I’m planing making a new personal email, but I don’t I don’t know how it should be!
examples:
DennisBusey@mail.com
DennisB@mail.com
DBusey@mail.com
Gime your ideas!
BIG EDIT: Thanks for your answers!
This email is personal, and apart from giving it to friends, bank, gov and couple bill companies, I won’t give it anywhere else. Also the privacy people where to much IMO, not easy to remember number and letters.
firstname@firstname-initial.ca is mine for “professional” use
Protect your privacy by never using your name, phone, post code, DOB in your email address. Make it something short and easy to remember, as well as easy to say to people when they ask for it. If it’s your personal domain, you can do anything. Perhaps you are an airplane enthusiast, it could be 747@MyPersonalDomain.org, but if it’s not your domain you need to be creative, Seven47@mail.com easy to remember and not embarrassing like HotGrannie1912@coolmail.com .
I have a work email, an email with my name for only personal/professional contacts outside work, a sign-up email, and my email from 2005 for some reason that I use for dominos.
its pretty hard to get anything without numbers or such. are you running your own? If so I would just take something you like that is easy to spell and hopefully our domain is short and easy to spell.
The key is simply signing up to gmail 15± years ago
Buy a domain, and you have all of the addresses.
For personal email mail@initialslastname.eu
Our family all have their own initialslastname.eu or .nl domain for official stuff.
Pretty happy with that, it wasn’t available 10 years ago, someone obviously gave up squatting it.
In the late 90s I was crushed to find my lastname.com/.net/.org had all been registered by a family-run business that’s been operating in my grandparents’ home country for 200 years. Looks like they’re still around, too.
You could always email them asking for a subdomain!
Or join them!
I thought about it back then but they’re pretty big now. Very modern website and they deliver anywhere in Europe
Offer them drop shipping services to wherever you are 😆

If you’re privacy consious, then I would suggest not using anything related to your real life, let alone hobbies, name, birth year. Use completely random words! Tip if you’re pretty privacy consious: Use alias emails and connect those with your main email. I suggest services like AnonAddy, SimpleLogin.
I have 3 gmail accounts which I extremely rarely open or use. Email address of first one is my nickname+birth year. Second one is like a Chinese version of my actual nickname, I guess this could be counted as a pseudonym. Third one is full name+birth year. My Proton Mail email address is a username based on my hobby. My Tuta Mail address is made of completely random words and random numbers.
I ended up on first@full.domain
What will you use it for?
Job hunting and white collar business use, be very formal.
For subscriptions and other private functions, use what ever.
First 2 objects you see around you and a number. One for personal, one for healthcare etc and one for spam and one timers
I prefer shorter emails like “dbusey@…” but to each his own.
Same. I use my initials and a number, so DB7@email.com.
Why do you need to use your full name? I’ve never had issues with my eLiTeh4x0r@email.com style email account. Not with official government stuff and not with work related things.
eLiTeh4x0r@email.com is frustrating to attempt to spell out to the clerk at the other side of the counter.
And just try reading it over the phone to someone, especially a non-native-english speaker.
My personal email is first initial with last name, which I can simply tell them without having to try to spell anything out.
I have a state job tho, and there it’s first initial and middle initial and last name, why the hell… now I can’t email a colleague without looking at a sheet to find their middle initial. Stupid.
E like easter, L like love, I like Iron, T like toast, E like Easter again, H like Hood, 4, X like X, 0 and R like Ring @ email.com.
And you have to memorize it! Cause giving it daily its gonna be nuts.“M, as in Mancy”
