The one drawback to that is there is a General in the U.S. Army with my exact name who doesn’t understand how email works and apparently gives out my email address as his. I wish I knew what his actual email address was so I could let people know what it is. I bet he’s missing out on a lot of VA functions and barber appointments because he couldn’t be assed to remember his actual email address.
If he’s active duty Army, try [email protected][email protected]. if it’s a somewhat common name try adding .1 after the name and incrementing up if necessary.
As a General, he’s likely in charge of some really big organization, like a whole military base or CCMD (combatant command). Try looking through the emails you get to see if you can find some context for where he might work, then search for an about page or contact page on the public web. You won’t get him directly but someone who knows how to route the information up to him.
I have firstname.lastname@ Gmail, again from when it was invite only, as well as yahoo, and Hotmail from when it hadn’t been bought by MS
Thankfully only ≈ 800 people worldwide have the same spelling as my first name none of which are older than me, and none of them have the unique combo of my first and last name, so I don’t have those shenanigans happening
Wait until a fantasy author gets hold of your name and has a very successful 4 series before it turns into miserable dross. Not so unique any more are ya, Khalesi?
do you mean the holy grail of
[email protected]
or the slightly uncommon
[email protected]?
I got [email protected] when gmail was still ‘invite only’.

I know somebody who got his first name on Xbox Live. And he didn’t even make an account until he got a 360.
Same thing happened to my friend xfggxil65
