Tmy name is just common enough to never be available anywhere, until Outlook.com addresses were new. Got firstlast@outlook magically. Really just one guy in Australia though it seems that doesn't realize he's not getting any of those emails. I figure that his actual email is probably something like first.last@outlook and he misses the dot sometimes.

I have an uncommon but not unique name and I have firstlast@gmail.com. As far as I know, others with my name usually include a middle initial in their email address but they sometimes forget it. I've gotten family event plans, car maintenance reminders, digital receipts, contractor quotes, and even once added to a daycare group (that one I did reach out to the coordinator to let them know and then removed myself from the group).
