I am trying to get my own custom domain. However for my name with all the major tlds such as .com .net .io and such, @firstnamelastname.tld and @lastname.tld are taken. I don’t want to have a less trusted tld such as .xyz and would rather stick with the popular ones. Only my first name without the .com tld is not taken, so @firstname.io or @firstname.net for example.
I was thinking I could potentially do lastname-mail@firstname.io/net or something of that sort and I think it looks pretty decent. What are your thoughts?
An older relative had me help him with his resume recently. He gave me his email as something like jugman1953@domain.net and I asked if that was what he wanted to use. He apparently collects antique crockery… I told him that may come off as something else. He insisted, so I used it.
I guess it shows what I know, because he got the job. Even a questionable email isn’t always a deal breaker.
