I got my first+lastname@gmail.com, and I recently bought my first+lastname.org (the dot com was taken).
I didn't get my first+lastname on Twitter or elsewhere though.
Did you "get" your full name on gmail/Twitter/etc.?
-
I've only tried on gmail, and I got it. My first name is pretty unique.
-
I got my full name on Gmail easily three years ago. I don't have my full name for Twitter because it's my other username/avatar.
-
I did get my first+lastname@gmail.com, however, I much prefer firstinital.lastname@gmail.com but that was already taken. wah.
I also don't use my real names on any other accounts except facebook.
-
I got it for my email, I don't do Twitter so no worries there. If I can't have my first and last name on someplace that isn't too serious, like Reddit, here, etc. I just do my first name doubled.
-
My maiden name was really common but married not so much, so I got first.last@gmail and was pretty excited. Except, there are two common spellings of my first name and there is a person with my same name, other spelling, whose emails I keep getting now. I wish I had a number in there to avoid getting her daughter's school nurse emailing me!
-
I got my first name and last initial ages and ages ago, although I've learned over time that there is a downside - I get a lot of misdirected emails and calendar invites to people with the same first name!
-
I haven't tried....it is probably taken?!
-
I got it on yahoo. but I havent wanted it anywhere else.
-
Yep! My married name isn't common!
-
I got my married first name/last name for gmail. I didn't want it for twitter, though my username has my first name in it.
-
Yes on gmail, yahoo, and twitter. My last name isn't common.
-
yes with my married name: first.last@gmail.com
my old email was: maiden.middle.first@gmail.com
on instagram/FB/twitter I have the same "name", and its my initials
-
by the time I got married, firstname.lastname@gmail.com was taken. So I opted for firstname.maidenname.lastname@gmail.com. (no periods although I don't think it matters with gmail.)
-
Yep, but it doesn't matter anyway since my email is firstname@lastname.com. My married name is rare so I'd be able to get just about any account that I want using it.
-
I could only get maiden.first for gmail and first.middle initial.last for my married name (common names). I got first and last for facebook, twitter, and pinterest because I signed up immediately when I heard about them just to "reserve" my name.
-
I got firstnamelastinitial on gmail. My boss's daughter worked for Google and I was one of the first to test Gmail. My name is Rachel, so I get email from all sorts of crazy places all the time, but I love my email address.
-
I got my first name middle initial last name @gmail.com. I didn't realize how popular my married name was until I tried makin the switch.
-
No, I didn't try though. I didn't want any of my social media accounts easily linked to me. Just in case a future employer wants to look me up. Although if you know one of my few screen names that I use, you could probably find me.
As for email? I did.
-
For email i did. BUT, i am really annoyed because there's another girl out there who has been giving out my email address as her own!!!
-
yes, but i wish i had my business name for instagram and twitter.
-
Yep! But my first name, maiden name and married name are all pretty uncommon. If it were taken on gmail/twitter, I would be super shocked!
-
Yep! I have firstmiddlelast@gmail.
-
Gmail: First initial middle initial last (maiden) name when I got it a few years back. Can't get anything remotely close to my married name though.
Twitter: Didn't try, use my blog name instead.
-
I have first name.lastname@gmail.com
My maiden name was more popular so I had to add digits at the end. -
I have first.last@gmail.com in both married and maiden names. LO also has her first.last@gmail.com account too.
-
There were only 3 of my name in the country with my maiden name. Both of the others were younger than me so I got the email addresses! ; ) But now there are thousands of mes.
-
With my maiden I had a decent gmail that wasn't too obscure, now that I'm married with a VERY common lastname, it's long gone.
-
I have first initial last name@gmail and full first and middle dot married name @ gmail. My first name and married name are super common.
-
@caffeinated: Omg this happens to me all the time!!! I get tons of random emails meant for other people with my same name.
The worst is when they sign me up for a newsletter that is hard to unsubscribe from.
I have my firstname.lastname@gmail.com but not @facebook.com. Someone beat me to FB!
-
I did, for all, and I was pretty surprised by it. My last name isn't VERY common, but it's not unusual, either. And I joined both Twitter and Instagram pretty late in the game.
ETA: Weird, but I JUST got like 25 emails intended for someone else. They're pay stubs from a window frame manufacturing company in AU! I'm not sure what to do about it...
-
I'm not on any of those things. I still have an aol email
-
@sunny: I was so annoyed because i got an email from Sephora with her name! I hope she's not stealing my points!!
-
I had first.last in my maiden name. When I got married I did firstmiddleinitiallast. I already secured our daughter's firstmiddleinitiallast on Gmail - her first.last was taken.
-
@caffeinated: see my other post... Someone stole my money from my bank account!
-
I did. My married surname is pretty rare.
-
Got it w my maiden name, but my married name is SO common so got firstinitiallastnamemail.
-
Yes, on yahoo. I have a pretty uncommon name so if I did want it elsewhere I think I could get it.
-
yes on gmail - someone else has it on yahoo and people keep emailing me email meant for her! it's so obnoxious. I've emailed her and asked her to correct it many times and she basically witched me out, saying that I needed to take a chill pill and relax about a common mistake. ?! I was getting confidential emails about a student!!
-
I got my married name! My full maiden name wasn't usually available though.
