So I'm planing making a new personal email, but I don't I don't know how it should be!
examples:
DennisBusey@mail.com
DennisB@mail.com
DBusey@mail.com
Gime your ideas!

BIG EDIT: Thanks for your answers!
This email is personal, and apart from giving it to friends, bank, gov and couple bill companies, I won't give it anywhere else. Also the privacy people where to much IMO, not easy to remember number and letters.

I happen to have first.middle.last@acertainfreehost that I use for government things. I wanted first.last, but there are a few of "me" out there and one of them beat me to it.

Which is partly to say that you might find that now you've posted your ideas here that someone has taken them all before you, so I hope you didn't use your real name. And I still feel sorry for ol' Dennis if you didn't.

One alternative might be to get your own domain name. Plenty of hosting companies will do a domain and mail forwarding if not some tier of hosting for cheap. Many give a handful of accounts in the base price. (Though it should be noted that it's a well-known money grab because it's usually very simple to have @domain go to one mailbox for collection and sorting elsewhere. Storage management does not have to be at the mailbox level either.)
