Just make your own personal email address/domain.

I already have my domain firstlastname.com with Google domains. I can setup email forwarding for free. All goes to my gmail address.

As far as normal people their reaction was "That's cool you have your own email like that"

It's fun and educational. I nabbed [e-mail]. Unfortunately my last name isn't quite so easy to spell so it isn't quite the easiest but it's me.

What’s annoying is the number of web forms that assume all email addresses must end in .com, .edu, or maybe .net/.org if you’re lucky. And refuses to let you use your nice custom email domain because it’s “invalid”.

So I have a .family address for my “primary” account and a gmail account for fallback purposes.

I had myname.com for 15 years. I let it go when I had email hosting issues, the Covid hit & I scrutinized my cost:benefit of inflating registrar and hosting fees over the years.

[e-mail] always seemed a little redundant to as an email address; and [e-mail] also sounds ... weird

I use [e-mail]

I also sometimes use [e-mail] because some services don't allow emails starting with keywords, Facebook for example doesn't, or didn't at the time I tried, allow mail / info / admin etc.
