Poll

Okay, after at least 12 years, I'm ditching my Hotmail email account. I've hated Hotmail for a long time, but I keep it around because it's the address everyone knows. I'm hopping on the gmail bandwagon.

I could just be "current Hotmail account name" at gmaildotcom. But the whole point is to get something new... maybe something NOT tied to a nickname I was given at 14. Something I could put at the top of a resume without feeling ashamed. But, unfortunately, myfirstname.lastname at gmaildotcom is taken, and so are all the logical combinations of it. (This is the first time I have ever resented my fantastic married name. MyfirstnameMaidenname, of course, is available.)

So I need your help:

You are so funny. I probably would have made a snap decision choice and be stuck with it for years. But you take the time to post possibilities and ask your friends. You are definitly not a snap-decisionRegreatLater Lady. Well, what's wrong with making a statement? like TheGreatPretender or DisneyGal4Life or DontAskMe or be historical like RightMakesMight (Lincoln) or whimsical like CheekPrintsInDaSand. How about work related like WhosInchargeHere. The possibilities are endless.

All right, I voted. I love that this is a big conundrum for you.

That is a bummer that your name is taken. We are in the same boat with more common married than maiden names. I guess I got lucky with my gmail. I use my hotmail almost exclusively for junk, but I do still have it. Afterall, you can't get rid of something with 637 in the title! Anyhow, I voted for the last one (email_). My rationale is that it stands out more. You know I'm going to start emailing this other person with your name by accident. I can't even get the benloves one right!

So what's up with the new email address.
