    I had some silly ones when I was younger, but I also made one that’s <first name>.<last name>@<service>.com which I’m using to this day. The only problem is that from time to time I get emails seemingly addressed to the fella using the same address, but without the dot between the names.

      Many services including Gmail silently ignore periods in localparts, so foo.bar and foobar are the same address.

        I know, but in my case it’s like the opposite - i.e. someone sending a mail to firstnamelastname and me (firstname.lastname) receiving it as well (or instead, I don’t know).
