Mine is “first name at last name dot dk, only last name is spelled with an ‘O’ instead of an ‘Ø’” ...
It’s quite common when giving my email over the phone that my full name has already been established so I really wished the “Ø”-version would work (I also own that domain) but most (many? Some? Too many) email clients refuse to send emails to servers that contains special characters.
I can receive emails at the ø-domain, but not send to it using Fastmail. They recommend I use puny codes but that’s way too difficult to communicate.
- Symbiote 5y agoMaybe you should set http://ølsgaard.dk/ http://xn--lsgaard-p1a.dk/ to redirect to http://olsgaard.dk/ http://olsgaard.dk/ Why do most Danes use Ø or Æ in their names, but not Å? (The chance of HN recognizing the first URL as a URL? 1%? ... Oh, it converted ølsgaard.dk to Punycode.)
- thomasahle 5y ago> Why do most Danes use Ø or Æ in their names, but not Å? I think because Å was added later than Ø or Æ (introduced in 1948 vs 1100 for the other two). People are hesitant to change the spelling of their names, so the old form "Aa" is still common in names like Aamand and Aagesen.
- olsgaarddk 5y agoI thought I had set it up to redirect http ... for email it actually does redirect.
- stevekemp 5y agoSimilar for me: "first name @ first name . fi". I used to use steve.org.uk, but since moving steve.fi. The Finnish suffix is much easier to explain than the ".org.uk".
- t0mas88 5y agoSame here, first at last dot country. But I'm unlucky to have a 15 character last name. Luckily in many cases whoever I'm telling my email to has my last name somewhere on their screen :-) if not things typically go wrong...
