So I’m planing making a new personal email, but I don’t I don’t know how it should be!
examples:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
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.

    You can register an email address as “jigglypuff666forever” or whatever nonsense you want. The government certainly doesn’t give a shit, and as long as your family and friends know that a specific string of numbers and letters means “you” in the address book, why does it matter?

    If you’re worried about professionalism, I don’t really see much difference between “[email protected]” and “[email protected]” except one tells the world your full name, and the other just gives away that you like gardening. Both are equally G-rated and acceptable, but only one is a security nightmare.

      Still, I want my name in it, so people know it’s and only me! Not just couple letters and numbers, that can confuse others.

        That’s no guarantee. I met a guy with my same first and (fairly rare) last name when I traveled to another city. Now I know to whom the banking emails I get belong. And, while they practice better data security now, a few years ago I could tell you every time he bounced a check.

          Not guarantee if you live in USA I should guess? My name and last name is not so common in my country.

            My last name is very rare. My first name is common for my generation but rare these days.

            I ran into the one guy with my first and last name and married a woman with my wife’s name. The hotel was very confused. Obviously the bank as well. I even emailed them telling them I’m the wrong guy. Didn’t help.
