Our last name is pretty uncommon so I don't think s/he will have a hard time getting an email address. autumnlove on "Did you set up an email account for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-set-up-an-email-account-for-your-lo#post-83860 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 11:23:00 +0000 autumnlove 83860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I did! I set it up because I wanted to save her firstname.lastname@gmail for her but who knows if she will even use it. right now I use the account for online shopping so it is VERY active! yoursilverlining on "Did you set up an email account for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-set-up-an-email-account-for-your-lo#post-83853 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 11:19:06 +0000 yoursilverlining 83853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, we won't be doing this. Who knows what the technology will be in 10 years, and we don't really want to encourage tons of computer activity (like having private email) until they are at least that old.

I could be wrong. plantains on "Did you set up an email account for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-set-up-an-email-account-for-your-lo#post-83842 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 11:11:48 +0000 plantains 83842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I had no idea this was something people did! daniellemybelle on "Did you set up an email account for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-set-up-an-email-account-for-your-lo#post-83827 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 10:45:51 +0000 daniellemybelle 83827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I just went and checked if our girl name (the only name we've settled on) is taken on gmail, and First Last is, and First Middle Initial Last is, but First Middle Last is not! For a brief crazy moment I almost registered it!

I did it when LO was a few weeks old. heffalump on "Did you set up an email account for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-set-up-an-email-account-for-your-lo#post-83756 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 08:55:56 +0000 heffalump 83756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I didn't. She'll just have to wait until she can type before she gets an email account. I don't really care if it's the perfect name, and I doubt she will either. chopsuey on "Did you set up an email account for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-set-up-an-email-account-for-your-lo#post-83743 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 08:04:46 +0000 chopsuey 83743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We did!

He actually obsessed over getting the right gmail name :) He also bought the web domain for the girl name and the boy name we have chosen so that we have those if we want them in the future.

I set it up after the birth after hearing that my friends did it for their son, I thought it was a good idea! I don't use it for anything....just wanted to reserve it! looch on "Did you set up an email account for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-set-up-an-email-account-for-your-lo#post-83733 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 06:58:46 +0000 looch 83733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We did, not so that it's available in the future, but so we can send out updates and pictures to family members. My mom gets a kick out of getting email from my son! We set it up after birth because we were team green and didn't know the name before.

I've never though of this. Thanks! mediagirl on "Did you set up an email account for your LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-set-up-an-email-account-for-your-lo#post-83719 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 04:06:36 +0000 mediagirl 83719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Did you set up an email account with your lo's name so it would be available for them someday? If so, did you set it up before or after birth?
