My first name ends in 'in'. So, I registered <2-(n-2) letters of first name>.in, giving me an email address of the form a@bcdef.in. If you remove the '@' and the '.', you just get my first name.

I thought I was being clever at the time, but nobody gets it. Sigh.



I have my own with an 'hn' domain, with the @ replacing the 'a' in my first name. Usually non-technical people gets it and they find it amusing.


Something like d@r.io?


I did something similar but used the @ as an A in my name


I have my own one: *.tel (my name is *tel). My email is *@*.tel; lots of people get it. Life is good.


Did you have delivery issues to Western email addresses, given the .in origin of your mail?


I also use a .in in the US and the only delivery issues I have is when trying to give someone my email address over the phone.

That said, I probably receive >>100x as many emails as I send so I'm not sure I can really say I've tested sending emails particularly thoroughly.


Not OP, but Discover bank Zelle signup refused to believe that an email can end in .in. It accepted happily an email ending in .us.


I have not observed any delivery issues yet, but I seldom use the .in address.
