Hmm. I just did the classic stupid thing. I tried this trick with the email name I had hoped to get, and it turned out the guy has the same name as me! Imagine that!

I had hoped to get [email protected]

Going to bed is starting to sound pretty logical.

Change your name in Gmail? Why is it such a big deal, anyway? My email is my full name...I'll let you take a wild guess what that is.

Damn fool! How will you hide when you make asinine replies to people on Y combinator in a lame attempt at humor?

Change the name associated with your email account to your email address.
