Yeah, I got my name when gmail was 'invite only' :/
It actually kinda sucks. At any given time I have between 3 and a zillion idiots around the globe who, for months or years on end, keep buying concert tickets, airline/vacation bookings, get job hits, legal firm or health-care notifications ... using my email (jbloggs@gmail.com) instead of (jbloggs999@gmail.com) or whatever variant they actually signed up for, since I got 'just my name' and they keep. forgetting. their. own. bloody. email.
And most of the time this shit is sent from a 'noreply@wherever.net' so I can't even tell them they have the wrong email address. Grrrrrrr.
There is still a woman in the Miami area who uses my email for everything. I've even received her completed tax documents from her accountant and was told to "disregard" when I replied to it. It's been over ten years. My name isn't even Alicia.
