My college email forwarding is just my first name. (We got to choose our username and I got in early.) It doesn't really happen any longer but back in the day when a lot of people were not terribly familiar with the new-fangled email thing, I would get fairly regular emails--including some that were probably at least a bit sensitive--addressed to my first name by people who just assumed the email would somehow get to some other person with the same first name.
