I have the same, firstname@lastname.com/uk/.co.uk/etc; my family name alone is an absolute pain in the arse for most British English speakers to spell when given it verbally; to make matters worse, when I give people my email, over the phone for example, I get the combination of "what's it @?" and then when they finally get there, that my last name is after the @, another 5 minutes to get them to spell it correctly; Some, despite this dance still end up never getting it right.
My wife constantly (half-jokingly) reminds me of how much of an PITA I've caused her with my name (that she took), when her maiden name was so sophisticated and easy compared to my weird, unidentifiable, "foreign" (I'm British/English) one.
EDIT to add: I don't often have issues with forms, but I reserve that particular address for "important" family related things, the sort of account where I _know_ if I receive an email to it, I need to read it. Everything else I use a gmail for (as does my wife).
