If you had [email protected], now that would be impressive (as I expect this domain to have been registered decades ago). As for me, I use [email protected] (with my actual name, of course) as my primary mail address, so to me it feels normal, not tacky.

(Plus, the .name domain is also a good way of testing whether the business is stuck in the 90s - if they insist that it's still 1999 and 4-letter TLDs are a no-no, that's a red flag of sorts, especially in a technological company)

Unfortunately for me, my name is also the name of a somewhat popular kickboxer. As a result of all relevant domains being registered, I have [email protected] I also use my middle name on my resume, so it works out well.
