Best Username for Your Professional Email of Your Own Domain Name (e.g. [email protected])

Hey all,

What do you believe to be the best username to a domain you own of "firstnamesurname.com".

I ask this as having first [email protected] doesn't really make sense as you have your first name twice.

So what other options do you/would you use?

E.g.

In the perfect world you would own [email protected] but near on impossible as all are registered.

Why would anyone want to find your address?

You come across as quite paranoid, are you worried people are always looking for you or something?

For most people, having an email address that easily memorable and quotable rather than an instantly forgettable sequence of nonsense is much more important than worrying about someone who probably already knows your name using it to google to find out where you live.

Just to point out by the way, typing 'arknor' into Google brings up your real name on the first page of results anyway, I doubt your email being lh123448574 or actually full written out would make much difference to my ability to subsequently find out where you lived if I was so inclined.

Most arknors on the internet are not even me.
I never played starcraft etc there's loads of arknors.
steam profile edited though :P just gotta wait for google cache to catch up

Anyway I was just pointing out how easy it makes your real address to find.
some nutters on the internet do exist we have had people on this forum threatening to beat people up etc in the past

You could get idiots ordering pizzas to your house because you disagree with them about something trivial

just putting the risks out there

Is any of that really made any more likely by someone being able to see your name through your email address though? Considering in many cases it's not especially difficult to find someone's name anyway, possibly even easier than finding the email address with the name in it :p

Don't forget we're primarily discussing a business email here, so in all likelihood, anyone sending an email already has a name and possibly even a business address.

and any business with a firstname/lastname email address seems like a one man band run by an amateur out of his bedroom.

Not professional like the op seems to think
