I thought it was an April fools gag.

as cool as it is to have a gmail account from back then, I have an older lady in the US who just registers things against it, because we have the same first initial and last name. I found her on facebook and messaged her to tell to please stop using my email address, she still does it from time to time.

Its crazy that stuff like ebay will let you verify an account with a mobile number, but never verify the email address. I ended up moving her ebay account to an email address that I created, but I was tempted to buy a bunch of shit for her...

I have that for my deadname account, but I had to put a number in my post transition gmail account. I do have firstname@lastname as a personal domain though some sites don't like that.

I’ve gotten that a few times from people, I got mine when it was still in beta. Don’t use it anymore because google, switched to Proton.

I’m so old I was able to get my kids Gmail with his name.

When gmail was invite I got my name, my ex wife's and both my kid's. I also got a couple of regular words, for other uses. I get a ton of mail for other people with the same last name.

I gave up. I own my name as a domain.

So if my name was John Doe, as an example, my domain would be Johndoe.com and my email would be John@Johndoe (dot) com.

My name isn't John Doe.

Gmail is cool and all, but it's pretty sweet to have my custom domain name and email.

The domain I really want is just my last name, so I can be firstname@lastname (dot) com.

Unfortunately my last name isn't uncommon and the last time I checked, the squatters on the domain were asking like $3k usd for it.

All kind of nope on that.

I had firstnameLastname@gmail.com but deleted my account recently.

I had to be invited.
