I have a very common name; so, it is near impossible to get a good professional email address. I am trying to choose one and am leaning toward GMail for many reasons. Some of my only options seem to be [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected].
But there seem to be a few downsides to each. I was originally going to use [email protected] but was advised by someone I highly respect that it made them wonder if I was running for election. I don't know how common the idea of FirstMaidenLast is or how it's viewed by others. And I am worried that if I use the idea of FirstLast with some letters (VBA, since VBA is the language I am coding primarily in right now) that most people will find "VBA" hard to remember since they may not really know what it is.
So, ultimately, I am leaning toward FirstLastYear or FirstMaidenLast. Any suggestions, with possible explanations of your reasoning would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. Please do not spam me or post ridiculous answers just for fun. I will report you.
