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.

Protect your privacy by never using your name, phone, post code, DOB in your email address. Make it something short and easy to remember, as well as easy to say to people when they ask for it. If it's your personal domain, you can do anything. Perhaps you are an airplane enthusiast, it could be 747@MyPersonalDomain.org, but if it's not your domain you need to be creative, Seven47@mail.com easy to remember and not embarrassing like HotGrannie1912@coolmail.com .
