I was able to get $firstname.{dev,app}. My idea was to deploy my apps at $app.$firstname.{dev,app} for dev and prod stages respectively. Now I only need apps that I can deploy there. I am still a bit reluctant to use either one as my primary email address (still relying on .org) because I worry that certain sites will reject those fancy email addresses.

I should say that I am more attached to my first name than my last name because the former is slightly more special and thus more "unique" (also it sounds cute when people say it in English).

I'm using a .dev domain name as my primary email address and in the last few years of using it, I have only run into one website that did not support it properly. I ended up using my .com email alias for that website.

I’m sorry to hear :(

Go to Google domains, there’s an option to see all available domain endings with your chosen name, you can see if there is another that works better for you? Eg .xyz or.app etc

I went for firstname.dev :)

No, I went for https://firstname.dev

I also got https://lastname.dev too.

And lest you think you could just use your https://fullname.dev ... nope, already got it as well.

You're missing "steve.dev" on the first list - not me, though I have two steve-domains!

Reminds me of how I thought I was being clever by picking the facebook "shortname" of /forename.surename!
