    FirstInitial LastName is common format. I knew someone named Aaron Ryan who got stuck with the email address “[email protected]”.

      Just one dot dividing the name would make it a lot better

        Thankfully, [email protected] and [email protected] should be delivered to the same inbox.

            I stand corrected. I haven’t used anything other than proton mail in a while and it works there. I thought it was part of the standard
