I made a sensible email address with my last name followed by my first initial when google mail first started. Young people are always in awe of the fact that I got to have my name as my email address without adding anything extra to it.

I was that dumb kid who got my first gmail invite from a friend and never thought to use my first name/last name because it was during the time that we all were supposed to be ‘anonymous’ as everyone on the internet was a murderer.

Yep. I’m old enough to have 2 such email addresses.

I always used multiple emails, depending on whether they were for professional use or hobby use.

Young age: “xXx_pussyslayer666_xXx@notevilmail.com is a cool e-mail address!”
Early adulthood: “Noooo, I need to be professional, my mail is now johnsmith1994@notevilmail.com!”
Late adulthood: “For the sake of my privacy, I"m now using xXx_pussyslayer666_xXx@privacymail.com.”

Forever ago, in a post about “applying for jobs after graduating college” tips on Ask[fuckyouspez], I suggested creating a new email address like FirstName.MI.LastName and use that for applying to jobs, definitely don’t use your old email like Xx_PussyDestroyer420_xX@hotmail.com.
I got banned from the sub for violating their rule of “don’t post emails addresses”.

No offense to you, but why does that handle conjure up a vision of someone with a “Karen hairstyle” wanting to speak to the manager?

I have an email address that’s kind of tricky to read aloud. As decades went on, it’s less and less funny, to be frank.
Luckily the service also gave me a firstname dot lastname type alias. I’ve lately been giving it out if I have to say it over the phone or something. …Also I guess it looks more professional in CVs or something.

I had some silly ones when I was younger, but I also made one that’s <first name>.<last name>@<service>.com which I’m using to this day. The only problem is that from time to time I get emails seemingly addressed to the fella using the same address, but without the dot between the names.

I can’t imagine what people have to listen to when they ask a customer for their email address. There will be sane people that have a “normal” address for such purposes, then there will be the ones that keep “pussysmasher_hobag@whatever.com” as some kind of flex and make everyone else have to copy that down.
kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Weirdly I’m thankful someone stole and changed my password to dbzboy19@hotmail.com when I was in high school. It prompted me to generate a new, more respectable, email address. Otherwise this would be a pretty unfortunate reality for me.
That being said, fuck that guy. feel free to send that email spam and gross images on my behalf to fill up their storage.

I thought an email adress was like a website. My first email has a www. in front. Luckily my name is so unique, I can create new ones with my name on every service
manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 7 hours ago
Putting www. at the start of an email is very funny I might do that one say - i often go with youcancontact(myname)@service(com), adding www would make me giggle and confuse everyone i have to read it out to

You wouldn’t believe the amount of unprofessional email addresses I saw when I used to do hiring. It sounds like a meme but please think before using bigjuicy69@hotmail.com as your contact email!
Rawrosaurus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 hour ago
With the amount of times I hear employers selling the info… I think giving a throwaway email on the application is probably just a safety concern at this point. Not sure I would put that much stock in what the email says.
Gerudo@lemmy.zip 30 minutes ago
A throwaway email is one thing, but if you can’t be assed to make a non-offensive, non-edgy, bland email address for a job application/resume, I’m not waisting my time interviewing you. It’s the same with typos, details matter for those 15 seconds your app crosses a desk.

First initial, last name, never fails. Except when you change your name. Then it fails.

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

Luckily I just picked my name and a zip number.
Two problems; zip number is kind of a personal info, and at that age I didn’t even know my zip number properly and made an error, which persists 20 years later.

Me at age 6, picking my username (and therefore first email address), knowing that it needs to be unique so I can use it for all accounts online, and also have meaning behind it so I don’t look like an idiot when I’m an adult: 🐺🖥️🌐

Damn were you a furry at 6 or did you turn into one so your username checks out?
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
I joined the fandom/made a sona at 11 years old, but the username (wreckedcarzz) isn’t furry-related (my display name, Midnight Wolf). I’m crazy about cars, and my father was, among other things, an accident reconstructionist. So growing up I got deeply interested in vehicle safety, crash tests, and the body protection and tech as it evolved. I got to attend an event with other reconstructionists and related professionals, and got to see an F-150 (I think) slam into a bollard at… 50mph? While myself and others were just like 100 feet away, maybe less than that. Discussing the mathematics behind it, talking about how a collision that someone might not think is that dangerous can make a vehicle a coffin, first responders tasks, etc.
So when I was brainstorming a username, I was wanting something that mentions cars, but is also unique and evokes the fun but danger of them. Wrecked, cars. But that’s boring and isn’t unique. But usually, two cars are involved in a collision… And they can get pretty mangled… wrecked carzz, with the zz representing the two crashed cars.
wreckedcarzz. And so it was decided.
My furry name was less interesting. I’m pretty bad at coming up with names, so it took me a couple weeks to decide on one. But I’m always up late, hate mornings. And my sona was a wolf (now the majority of my hybrid sona is still a wolf, but also tiger and fox sprinkled in). It’s not creative but it’s descriptive, and Midnight is an okay name, so Midnight Wolf. When I attended Midwest Furfest… 4 years ago? The lady who was helping me with my badge remarked that there were 3 or 4 other Midnight Wolfs in attendance that year. I’m not super old, but I’ve been in the fandom for 22 years now, so I was likely the oldest and longest Midnight Wolf in attendance.

I was 10 when the Internet because publicly accessible, and 13 when I made my first ever email address. I used my current username as my email handle, which was an abbreviated version of my name.
It took me like 10 seconds to come up with it. I had a cute girlfriend who was insisting I make a private email because I was sharing my mother’s email account and my girlfriend didn’t like my mother having access to our private conversations.
It’s been 29 years now and I’m still using this username. My original email is long gone, but the username lives on.

You know an adult can just get a domain name and thus get a different email address. Like h4ds3x@yomammas.house

A couple of years ago, I was applying for a work visa, and they needed my college transcripts. Despite matriculating in 19somethingsomethingoldold, my class was one of the first to use an online system that was able to be migrated into multiple subsequent generations of registrar systems, so they needed to have my school email ID, which I hadn’t thought about eleventymilliongetoffmylawn years, so THAT meant placing a call to campus IT, and providing enough personal information for them to look it up.
And that, my online friends, is when you are forced to viscerally confront that you were a deeply cringe knowitall who spent way too much time thinking your personality flaws were edgy superpowers and that knowing the name of a random reference in a Bertrand Russell book you barely understood proved how smart you were.

At 15: I better get an email address that reflects my interests and personality!
At 25: Ok ok my name is the only permanent thing about me so it should be based on my name.
At 35: why am I revealing this much personal information in my email address? I should just have a random jumble of letters.
