I can relate. I don't work in IT, and I've been using <firstname><lastname>.com as my main email for years. But in practice I have another email address that I can give around when I feel that using my own domain would look pretentious. I've pondered buying a domain that's not my name just to make it look like it's a normal email service, so it wouldn't look pretentious. But now it seems to me that a better solution would be to migrate all to Fastmail or Mailbox.org and have an alias ready for that use.
