      I dont know why but this reminds me of the joke in arrested development where tobias wanted to be an analytical therapist and he made it into the portmanteau “analrapist” 😂

    Ok, so it also fails sometimes when your name is unfortunate. But other than those times that it fails, it never fails.

  Sadly my name is slightly common but I’ve had my Gmail account since it was invite only. I’m not a Google fan but there is my entire life in that email history…

    I have extended family life never met use my Gmail (firstletterlastname) as theirs because they forget to add the numbers or whatever else they used to create theirs.

      Same. To make things worse, my distant great grand cousin who I’ve never even talked to, is both illiterate and dyslexic.

      I know because I get all his mails, including the one where he signed up for courses for dyslexia.

      I told the school to call him instead. I guess they get that a lot.

      I have full name, no numbers. I think it’s from 2005 or 2006…

  I knew two D. Adcocks. Their email address must be fun.

    I worked with a Barb Adcock! Her E-mail was indeed [firstinitial][lastname]@school, which must’ve been a hoot with students.

      Surely, someone should’ve seen Barb and my acquaintances and give them [first**name**][lastname]@server.com email addresses.

      On a similar topic to your story, my mother worked at a high school when I was young, and in her second marriage her last name was Dick. Only took a couple weeks for her to go back to going by her maiden name at the school.
