There is also the .me TLD - not sure if it has the same intentions as .name, but it is less used so more widely available. I own my lastname.me domain, and so I can (if I ever set it up properly) send mail to [email protected], which is slightly shorter but works just as well.

Actually the domain you own is almost certainly firstname.lastname.name, but the email is setup so [email protected] works. It's particular to the .name TLD.

No, I certainly own (and the convention you talk about is why I'm not sure if it holds up forever) for now the domain mylastname.name.
I found a registrar that sold this domain to me, anything you throw at it ends up on one of my machines.
I own (for now.. I'm not sure if that can be disputed if more people with my rather rare last name apply) lastname.name
So - you can reach me, if I finally finish my migration and stop being a lazy bastard, at [email protected] - which is rather good imo.
Sure, I've got other legacy addresses, but this could be a viable alternative to a gmail _identity_.
