I admire your decisiveness on the email branding. I own a few domains I could use for such a thing, but I'm still trying to figure out the best local-part.
Consider the possibilities! Sure, you could go classic and timeless, like yours, with FirstName@. But what about cool and terse, like initial@firstnamelastname.com? Or something unique and artisanal (that will hopefully never get old), like io@firstnamelastname.com?
(I've even seen a few people do hello@firstnamelastname.com, though I could never bring myself to do such a thing.)
- astrea 3y agoI went with “hello”,”contactme”, and “contact”
- mappu 3y agoI own firstn@melastna.me, that's optimal if your surname matches a ccTLD.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoMine does, but I don’t think you can just buy domains from Eritrea right now unfortunately.
- kevin_thibedeau 3y agoFor long names I'd suggest the [a-z][0-9][a-z].tld abbreviated form. Those three char domains with a digit tend to be readily available, don't command premium pricing, and are very convenient when you need to type an address in or verbally tell someone how to contact you.
- ehPReth 3y agothat's been a big thinker for me as well; wth no real solution yet.. first@firstlast.example seem rather redundant; like saying "John John Doe". I guess if it was a business it would make more sense; like "John, owner of John Doe Inc." and "Bob, assistant for John Doe Inc." but for a personal domain... eh. Similarly mail@ email@ seem 'too obvious' since.. of course it's email? Directional local parts like talkto@ to@ only make sense for inbound-only or outbound-only. I do like io@! hello@, contact@, note@, or communique@ also seem more neutral but at this point I'm getting dizzy lol. first@last.example seems more simple in retrospect but also harder to get.
- sdrothrock 3y agoHow about something like me@firstlast.com?
- MivLives 3y agoI have a domain hack of my name so I use firstname@firstnamelastna.me I wish I could get just lastna.me or lastname.com but I share the name with someone who's worked at icann, google and the white house at various points. I never had a shot.
