I've been wanting to do this for a while - I want to create a new, general username that I will use from now on. Especially once you enter college, things like applying for jobs and internships and such require a simpler, and more "professional" username/e-mail/screen name and such (though I won't get rid of my old accounts).

Unfortunately, that means things as simple and bland as:

riad89@...
riad1019@...
e.riad.1019@...

etc.

any suggestions? You guys know my name, and my birthday/date is October the 19th, 1989, that's what's most commonly used to construct these names. Any ideas or suggestions?

[Ravenblade]

Probably just go with the most simple one possible - i chose my full name and my lucky numbers for my general email. My University email is my department (abbrev) then a random number, then my initials. It depends what you're going for.

[Ironsight]

My address is just a variation of my last name and age. It's not that special or anything, I only made it to join this forum. As long as you wont be deleting you're more flavorful accounts, it shouldn't really matter.

[Split Infinity]

I think riad89 is pretty effective.

[Luna]

Numbers in an e-mail if you're trying to be professional = Bull****.

Use your real name if you are going for a professional e-mail (for work, college, whatever.)

riad.[last name goes here]@lalala
riad[lastnamegoeshere]
riad-[lastnamegoeshere]

or even the other way around, with the last name first.

And so on.

No numbers. Ever.

If you ABSOLUTELY MUST use the number just because your name is taken, then use your real name, again, and a number at the end. Like "[email protected]"

Again, no numbers. I can't stress that enough ): Numbers only reduce your credibility in a professional environment.

Employer: Let's see now...we've managed to narrow down the candidates to a certain Riad from New York, and a Brazilian immigrant named Steve. Well, Riad seems to have his credentials in order; and quite impressive if I do say so myself. He certainly seems to be the better man for the job. It's settled, then. I'll just send him an email to arrange - oh my god! Are those...are those NUMBERS in his address? Are you kidding me? That's just immature! Oh no, this just won't do at all, no Sir...

SANDRA! CANCEL THAT INTERVIEW!

[Eugine]

I agree with Split xD.

Anyway, remlor@... or something similar would be my suggestion. There's nothing wrong with your suggestions either...

You've got something against Steve's, punk?

[Split Infinity]

Er, no! Of course not! It's just uh...you know...Steve is one of those inherantly funny names! It's funny! C'mon Steve, laugh it up! Ha ha ha...ha...

You're going to kill me now, aren't you?

That's what I was going to suggest. :D Heck, I do this now. If you know my first and last name you know my Comcast account.

Only problem is if you have a long last name.

[Split Infinity]

Or if you sign up for your email here.

[Luna]

If the full name is too long, you could use your first name's initial and then your last name. Doing it the other way around would be unprofessional since people are more commonly classified through last names.

That was pretty god damn hysterical.

[Nosferatu]

It's funny how you can't come up with a boring normal name, but lots of other things.

It's like an online game. Chances are if you have too much of ANYTHING, you're the squeaky tard.

Numbers more so then anything.

[Split Infinity]

I didn't understand a word of what you just said.

That's what I do. Mine is d[stupid long last name here]@comcast.net

@Spam King:
Example:
In MapleStory, my characters are PotSheep and PotWombat (aka, Pot[Animal].) Then I have a bunch of characters with variations of "Sheba" like TheShebah, TheSheebster, and so on.

If you're the "squeaky tard" then you go around having names like Sheba874, sHebA83, xXSHEBAXx, and so on. ): It's always possible to keep it simple.

relmor@... is actually another one I was considering, especially since the initial of my first name and last name "flow" into one each other, almost like a single word.

So would you (and anyone else reading this) go for "riadelmor@..." (maybe riad.elmor@...) or "relmor@..." - five letters for a last name isn't bad, is it?

[Luna]

I'd go for riad.elmor@...

5 letters is fine :D

[My Best Wishes]

First and Last names are good, my more 'professional' email is my last name, then the first letter of my first and middle name.

[Split Infinity]

My email is the same as my password.

OH SHI-

Your last name sounds like hedgehog. :P

[gsninja]

riad.elmor@ is fine. Go with that.

Or you can go with lolbuttsecks@...
