i regret having gmail
I’m so old I was able to get my kids Gmail with his name.
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.
I got <first_name_initial><middle_name_initial><last_name>@gmail.com
in imitation of my university webmail account name. My brother who had the same first name and middle name initials knew this and had adjusted accordingly.
However, recently, someone registered this e-mail for school and I kept receiving their school e-mails.
My e-mail account is already roughly two decades old at this point, so I thought I was safe from this kind of problem.
Same thing happened with my nephew over the 4th.
I changed my name.. I added numbers to my new email address :(
