I use a “real name” domain. My last name ends in the letters “in”, so I bought a
.indomain, such that the domain name is my last name with a dot in it.Can’t honestly recommend that approach. It’s a cute gimmick, but when non-technical people ask for your email address and it doesn’t end in a TLD they recognize, their heads explode. I usually give out my gmail address.
I did first@last.me and can confirm, it confuses people all too often.
I have first@last.email, and my community rec organization couldn't even accept it because their system had a hard coded lost of TLDs it would recognize for email addresses.
Guess the junior dev they had building their systems hadn't figured out regex yet lol
