I’m looking into getting my own domain to use for email for both my partner and I. I was initially considering using both or first initials followed by our last name (example: ajsmith.tld for Ann and John Smith) but then got to thinking about it and realized that might not be best for privacy. It looks great in a professional setting (like job applications, bills, taxes, etc.), though. So I’m unsure. I’m curios what other privacy concerned people are doing. The main goal is to not have to worry about changing account emails when we change email providers.
first@last.com would be ideal, I use first@firstlast.com, but that wont be good for sharing. I would stick to a common TLD at least (.com, .net, .org, or a country) for deliverability.
