WE didn't come up with any alternates we like so we will let her figure it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-23049 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:58:10 +0000 geekinheels 23049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With Claire, yes. Several versions too, so that she has a choice! And I will do so for Aerin now — thanks for the reminder! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-23015 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:39:22 +0000 sandsandmore 23015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. While gmail may not be around, if it is, we at least have it reserved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22897 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 11:46:28 +0000 DillonLion 22897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We most likely won't do this. Like others have said, Gmail (or hell, e-mail entirely) might not be a "thing" anymore by the time our children are old enough to use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22896 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 11:45:36 +0000 meaganceleste 22896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not even pregnant yet, but a while back I saved a gmail address for our future son since we're totally locked in on his name since my husband is a II, and our son will be a III. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22889 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 11:36:30 +0000 tequiero21 22889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we'll see. first, i need to know the names! but even then, i'll bet you it'll already have been taken. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22766 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:08:03 +0000 mediagirl 22766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is a great idea! I thought about this when I was reading the other post about googling your LO's name. Once we have a LO, we'll definitely create a few Gmail accounts for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22733 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 08:39:37 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 22733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we did! 2 versions<br /> - firstname, 1st last name, 2nd last name<br /> - firstname, 2nd last name</p> <p>and I should make a 3rd, in case he wants to use the 1st last name rather than the 2nd</p> <p>- firstname, 1st last name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22684 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 01:10:01 +0000 momosakura 22684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I signed up as soon as we had a name picked out. Now, we send our daughter little emails here and there, documenting her milestones.</p> <p>I've also signed her up for google voice which admittedly is a bit overkill :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22652 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 00:02:45 +0000 Boogs 22652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! I didn't want him to have to use numbers, wanted something short &amp; sweet, and now we have a special e-mail we use to send pictures and such to grandparents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22630 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 23:16:27 +0000 erinpye 22630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No--just like TANA_BK, I figure there's a good chance there will be another email service more popular in use than Gmail (IF Gmail is even still around) by the time our LO is emailing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22557 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:47:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 22557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably will! I love that google commercial even though it makes me bawl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22533 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:18:39 +0000 L2sweetpea 22533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. After seeing that commercial of the dad writing his newborn baby we thought it would be great to E-mail her updates as we go along. It's a great way to journal about her life, milestones, and our thoughts/feelings, etc as she grows up. We think it will be great to have her read all these emails when she gets old enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22523 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:45:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 22523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so. Gmail might not even be the thing anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22452 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 13:45:10 +0000 Miss Adia 22452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh. I get it. I don't use full names for emails unless they are required like for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22447 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 13:34:45 +0000 Mrs. D 22447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, She'll have to figure it out for herself when she's old enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22445 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 13:21:04 +0000 MamaG 22445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! LO sent her first email to her Dad on Father's Day. She also sent one to her Dad for his Birthday all before she was born.</p> <p>I have had good intentions of sending emails to her as well (I had the idea before the commercial) so that she can read them later in life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22443 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 13:07:07 +0000 loveisstrange 22443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22432 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 12:00:35 +0000 Andrea 22432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I wanted to reserve it for her. I already was unable to get her name. I had to insert her middle initial but at least I didn't have to use numbers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22427 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 11:41:35 +0000 junebugmama 22427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have never thought of this. Maybe I will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22420 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 11:08:52 +0000 looch 22420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We send emails to my parents "from" our LO. My parents get a kick out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22419 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 11:02:05 +0000 Panda 22419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Adia: Wondering the same thing.</p> <p>I attend a university where at least 3 other people share the exact same first and last name and middle initial as me. One has a birthday one day off from mine even. So my email address was a lost cause anyway, haha. I don't mind having an email with extra numbers and letters, or even sharing my full name with the other students. As long as none of the others become murderers or anything... that wouldn't be fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22417 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 10:53:32 +0000 heffalump 22417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even have a Gmail. Unless my hubby made one for me, but I don't use it. She'll just have to wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22415 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 10:47:27 +0000 mrbee 22415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Adia: I think the main reason is to save your LO their exact name in gmail?</p> <p>So they don't have to be <a href="mailto:Charlie.Bee.007@gmail.com">Charlie.Bee.007@gmail.com</a>. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22414 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 10:31:20 +0000 Miss Adia 22414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm lost.

But maybe now I'll do it for real! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-signup-for-a-gmail-with-your-los-new-name#post-22403 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 09:27:17 +0000 mrbee 22403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This one comes from a comment by looch... she mentioned that she signed up for a gmail for her LO. So smart!</p> <p>Did you signup for an email address with your LO's new name? </p>
