my email address- comments wanted

[Twinkle]

Well, I have two email adresses. One that is for personal use and the other for applying for jobs and so on. My second one is mailto:initialinitial-surname@domain.com. Eg. mailto:je-bloggs@domain.com. Could you not try that?

My provider only allows letters, numbers and periods, so I'm still thinking of a good address.
I could go with:

mailto:lu.eileenl@domain.com (lastname, first name, middle initial)
mailto:eileen.luPT@domain.com (firstname, lastname, job title)
mailto:eiluPT@domain.com (nickname, job title)
mailto:eileenlimlu@domain.com (full name, including middle name)

I am liking mailto:eiluPT@domain.com; BUT it is a nickname (though more people know me by that than by my given name) and would including a job title be too presumptuous? (since I am still an intern) Yes, I am obsessing about this.

Can't wait for a spambot to start crawling this page.

I like the second one personally.

[mazil]

Did you see my suggestion on the previous page? You could be mailto:misseileenlu@domain.com, possibly

I'm lucky in that my first name is unique enough for it not to be a problem, pretty much ever!

I'm personally fond of mailto:eileenlimlu@domain.com. Maybe I just like the way it sounds.

I think any of them are alright, or mailto:eileen.l.lu@domain.com, mailto:eileen.lim.lu@domain.com have you tried any of them? i say just go with the one you most like that isnt taken. they're all fine.

my email address for job apps is my domain name that my dad bought me, so its mailto:firstname@firstnamelastname.net which is pretty good

[Siouxper]

firstname.lastname, lastname.firstname and all variants thereof are taken the perils of having a short first AND last name. I should have done it from the start. *kicks self*

someday I'm going to have to buy my own domain!

Exactly why I have my own domain

I like mailto:eileenlimlu@domain.com because it seem professional. I also like it better.

Haha, same, I think.

I you want the PT, one thing that might make it seem a little less presumptuous is to make it lower case. so, well, I guess eileen.lupt wouldn't really work But eileen.lu.pt perhaps.

Make that 3 votes for mailto:eileenlimlu@domain.com

You could also try adding your middle initial into the mix if you'd like. For example, my professional email address is mailto:lastname.firstnamemiddleinitial@domain.com

[Ric]

I really like mailto:eileenlimlu@domain.com. Sounds so boppy-cool.

I'm lucky in that my first name is unique enough for it not to be a problem, pretty much ever!

It is one of the pros of having a name my parents made up.

[eilu]

mailto:eileenlimlu@domian.com it is then. much thanks everyone!

@mazil: it's a nice one, but I don't really like titles that much. Thanks though.
