I have first.last@Gmail.
My first and last are not super common, but not unusual either.
I get tons of emails for other people sharing my name. Most recently a teacher emailed me a detailed educational plan for a student. I've had doctor appointment reminders, collegiate coaches trying to set up scrimmages, and countless account verification emails, among others.
- deepspace 5y agoI have <mylastname>.com. I get so many emails intended for people sharing my last name. They think they can just register on a site with theirfirstname@mylastname.com and it will magically work.
- dynamic_sausage 5y agoI am always mystified by such emails. Does the addressee think they will receive messages automatically? Or does the sender think everybody has an email in their name? Very curious...
- kdmccormick 5y agoI assume this happens just as the result of honest mis-hearings, mis-rememberings, or mis-transcriptions. "What's your email?" "first.last9@gmail.com" "Got it" (writes down first.last@gmail.com).
- Ajef 5y agoYour name must be more common than my name... i have first.last@gmail.com since the invite-only gmail beta. Not a single misdirected email to me.
