I am trying to get my own custom domain. However for my name with all the major tlds such as .com .net .io and such, @firstnamelastname.tld and @lastname.tld are taken. I don’t want to have a less trusted tld such as .xyz and would rather stick with the popular ones. Only my first name without the .com tld is not taken, so @firstname.io or @firstname.net for example.

I was thinking I could potentially do lastname-mail@firstname.io/net or something of that sort and I think it looks pretty decent. What are your thoughts?

I got a firstlast.me domain for myself, if it’s a personal or portfolio site I think that’s a good choice as well. It was also a bit cheaper than some of the “specialty” TLDs too.

I still use my gmail, but a favorite email I saw someone use once was himself@name.com - I though that was perfect but also hilarious
