Sure, if you had the foresight to reserve your.name@gmail.com twelve years ago, but today you'll have to use your.name772@gmail.com. Chances are that you won't even get incredibly.obscure.name@gmail.com.
However, chances are better for your.name@fastmail.com, your.name@protonmail.com, etc.
- jvannistelrooy 9y agoThat's indeed a good reason to pick another domain. I hope non-gmail domains will become more common because of that. It might lower the barrier to switch for many people.
- MrMember 9y agoI managed to get firstinitiallastname@gmail.com (account created in 2004ish) but for my Proton Mail account I had to add in my middle initial.
- eequah9L 9y agoYep, that one was taken by the dude that couldn't use @gmail, because you already had it ;)
