At 15: I better get an email address that reflects my interests and personality!

At 25: Ok ok my name is the only permanent thing about me so it should be based on my name.

At 35: why am I revealing this much personal information in my email address? I should just have a random jumble of letters.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

I use proton and they have this feature to generate a random email address based on the sits or a note. It's a little more advanced then user+microsoft@proton.me. and you can deactivate the address so your main inbox stops getting spam.

Young age: "xXx_pussyslayer666_xXx@notevilmail.com is a cool e-mail address!"

Early adulthood: "Noooo, I need to be professional, my mail is now johnsmith1994@notevilmail.com!"

Late adulthood: "For the sake of my privacy, I"m now using xXx_pussyslayer666_xXx@privacymail.com."

Mr. and Mrs. McGill,

Thank you for your time. While the vicious poisoning of your son was a horrific tragedy, I am sure that with the evidence we discussed, justice will be served and the perpetrators will be made to financially compensate your shattered family. If you need to contact me or any of the other lawyers at our firm regarding this important matter, you can reach me at s3XXXyS8ergurl69@aol.com.

First initial, last name, never fails. Except when you change your name. Then it fails.

I dont know why but this reminds me of the joke in arrested development where tobias wanted to be an analytical therapist and he made it into the portmanteau "analrapist" 😂

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Anal bum cover

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ok, so it also fails sometimes when your name is unfortunate. But other than those times that it fails, it never fails.

Sadly my name is slightly common but I've had my Gmail account since it was invite only. I'm not a Google fan but there is my entire life in that email history....

I mean, you are allowed more than one email address

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I made a sensible email address with my last name followed by my first initial when google mail first started. Young people are always in awe of the fact that I got to have my name as my email address without adding anything extra to it.

[–] rodneylives@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

On the other hand, my six letter Gmail address now constantly gets messages from people who mistyped their email addresses when signing up for things.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Yep. I'm old enough to have 2 such email addresses.

[–] GalacticRobot@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I was that dumb kid who got my first gmail invite from a friend and never thought to use my first name/last name because it was during the time that we all were supposed to be 'anonymous' as everyone on the internet was a murderer.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Me at age 6, picking my username (and therefore first email address), knowing that it needs to be unique so I can use it for all accounts online, and also have meaning behind it so I don't look like an idiot when I'm an adult: 🐺🖥️🌐

(this name is 27 years old and counting)

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I was 10 when the Internet because publicly accessible, and 13 when I made my first ever email address. I used my current username as my email handle, which was an abbreviated version of my name.

It took me like 10 seconds to come up with it. I had a cute girlfriend who was insisting I make a private email because I was sharing my mother's email account and my girlfriend didn't like my mother having access to our private conversations.

It's been 29 years now and I'm still using this username. My original email is long gone, but the username lives on.

This one is from AOL. Circa 1993/1994

First initial and full last name, 6 characters which is the minimum for Gmail. Thank you younger responsible self!

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago

Hope you're a responsible adult

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 13 points 6 days ago (5 children)

You wouldn't believe the amount of unprofessional email addresses I saw when I used to do hiring. It sounds like a meme but please think before using bigjuicy69@hotmail.com as your contact email!

[–] jobbies@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Hey how did you get my email address??

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 4 points 6 days ago

The job application process, have you not been paying attention?

Rocking my Hotmail since 1998.

Still ocassionaly typo HotMale and get a surprise.

Also still remember the throwaway my friend and I created to sign up for porn site newsletters on dial-up.

Forever ago, in a post about "applying for jobs after graduating college" tips on Ask[fuckyouspez], I suggested creating a new email address like FirstName.MI.LastName and use that for applying to jobs, definitely don't use your old email like Xx_PussyDestroyer420_xX@hotmail.com.

I got banned from the sub for violating their rule of "don't post emails addresses".

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My mom made my first email on KOL(AOL for kids) and misspelled my name. To this day my gmail has that misspelling in it.

I thought an email adress was like a website. My first email has a www. in front. Luckily my name is so unique, I can create new ones with my name on every service

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

You can forward emails from another address for your resume, and I don’t think siriusxm cares

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 6 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Luckily I just picked my name and a zip number.

Two problems; zip number is kind of a personal info, and at that age I didn't even know my zip number properly and made an error, which persists 20 years later.

Look, I got a DEFINITIVE ARTICLE and NO numbers. Only the OGs rock that stuff.

Mine is the most original ever: 😐

[First Name][Last Name] at Gmail and Yahoo.

Got the yahoo when they first started offering them, and the Gmail when it was invite only.

Yahoo for 90% of my online correspondence. Gmail for mostly professional / work related stuff.

A couple of years ago, I was applying for a work visa, and they needed my college transcripts. Despite matriculating in 19somethingsomethingoldold, my class was one of the first to use an online system that was able to be migrated into multiple subsequent generations of registrar systems, so they needed to have my school email ID, which I hadn't thought about eleventymilliongetoffmylawn years, so THAT meant placing a call to campus IT, and providing enough personal information for them to look it up.

And that, my online friends, is when you are forced to viscerally confront that you were a deeply cringe knowitall who spent way too much time thinking your personality flaws were edgy superpowers and that knowing the name of a random reference in a Bertrand Russell book you barely understood proved how smart you were.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

You know an adult can just get a domain name and thus get a different email address. Like h4ds3x@yomamas.house

Fortunately my name and last name aren't that common so I made an email like name.lastname@mail.com for adult stuff
