<p>or are numbers a no-no? I know it's not ok to have something like "<a href="mailto:sexxibabe69@hotmail.com">sexxibabe69@hotmail.com</a>" but does it need to be a simple your-name address? everything about my name is taken on all the major services</p>
<p>lmao this is a first.... someone asking if their emails are alright. People getting really!!!! insecure these days. Well yea, '<a href="mailto:sexxibabe69@hotmail.com">sexxibabe69@hotmail.com</a>' is bad... but the one you showed should be fine. I mean, if it is a common name, i suppose they don't expect you put be able to use that. Did you try a short version. Let's say your name is Simon Cowell lol. try like '<a href="mailto:simon.c@hotmail.com">simon.c@hotmail.com</a>' ... get my drift? hope that helps !</p>
<p>I used the email account with my current username, and no one seemed to have any problem with it despite the fact that it's long and makes no English sense. So I don't think numbers would be a problem.</p>
<p>I think it's fine to add numbers when you have a common name ("John Smith"), which seems to be your problem. I know several people who have done that.</p>
