I have that for my deadname account, but I had to put a number in my post transition gmail account. I do have firstname@lastname as a personal domain though some sites don't like that.

My partner has his lastname@gmail.com. no letter number €_-+() or whatever.
Stupid part now is that sometimes he gets mail for letter . /_/ - lastname. Only on important stuff he reacts. He still is happy with it.
I gave up. I own my name as a domain.
So if my name was John Doe, as an example, my domain would be Johndoe.com and my email would be John@Johndoe (dot) com.
My name isn't John Doe.
Gmail is cool and all, but it's pretty sweet to have my custom domain name and email.
The domain I really want is just my last name, so I can be firstname@lastname (dot) com.
Unfortunately my last name isn't uncommon and the last time I checked, the squatters on the domain were asking like $3k usd for it.
All kind of nope on that.
Same here, I signed up immediately. Also had a google phone # for a while, but never used it and I don't think it even works anymore. I think they only created those to gather test data for voice recognition.
They still exist. You can grab a new one for free whenever. They only expire if you don't use them for ~6 months, and then you just ask for a new one.

I’m so old I was able to get my kids Gmail with his name.
as cool as it is to have a gmail account from back then, I have an older lady in the US who just registers things against it, because we have the same first initial and last name. I found her on facebook and messaged her to tell to please stop using my email address, she still does it from time to time.
Its crazy that stuff like ebay will let you verify an account with a mobile number, but never verify the email address. I ended up moving her ebay account to an email address that I created, but I was tempted to buy a bunch of shit for her...
I had to be invited.
i regret having gmail
