    Gmail account is firstname.lastname and neither of them are rare.

    Even though I don’t use Gmail anymore I keep that account alive.

        Yeah but it used to not be ignored so now me and this random person with my name basically share an email address. We don’t get each other’s emails all that often somehow. We first chatted years ago when I got an important email for a job she applied for (soon after they started ignoring the dots), and she seemed decent so I didn’t change it. Definitely a huge risk but here we are.

        Backblaze immediately comes to mind as one that always makes me include the dot or it gets pissy
