I have this and the other people with my name give it as their own email address all the time, apparently not understanding that you don’t get the address just for existing.
Ha ha this happens to me so much. I even had to help a poor dude out because his account (and stuff getting delivered) all was under my email.
On a side note, I got the firstnamelastname@gmail, but Gmail often proposed the firstname.lastname@gmail in autocomplete, with my image and all, so I just "recovered" it. Now I have both when I'm trying to ditch Google 🤷🏼♀️
Gmail addresses with and without a dot are actually identical. Mine has a dot but I also get emails without the dot.
There must be some names that invalidates your claim (I'm just bewildered if it's true)
Like Abc Def and Ab Cdef style. Or is firs.tnamelastname valid too?
firs.tnamelastname@gmail.com is valid too.
