Comment on domain name with your own name?

I use a “real name” domain. My last name ends in the letters “in”, so I bought a .in domain, such that the domain name is my last name with a dot in it.
Can’t honestly recommend that approach. It’s a cute gimmick, but when non-technical people ask for your email address and it doesn’t end in a TLD they recognize, their heads explode. I usually give out my gmail address.
There are multiple of us! I did the exact same thing, except for using my own name. Mine ends in .re of Réunion. I think it’s fun so I’m keeping it.
For sharing it offline I have a big text widget on my phone. They usually get it if they can read it, but not if I spell it out.
I got firstlast.info (it used to be cheap)

I did first@last.me and can confirm, it confuses people all too often.

I have first@last.email, and my community rec organization couldn’t even accept it because their system had a hard coded lost of TLDs it would recognize for email addresses.

Guess the junior dev they had building their systems hadn’t figured out regex yet lol
