My email is first @ la.st (with the TLD being the last three letters of my last name).

People really struggle with this.

Websites sometimes reject it on principle that the TLD obviously can't exist.

I have an email of the format:

Foren@meSurna.me

Except it's much shorter (10 chars total). I basically only use it on my resume now, as people that work in tech are the only ones recognize it as a valid email address.

I got a domain with my first name and my wife’s first name like jimja.ne, but she was not a fan of it at all. I ended up getting jimjane.org instead. Much easier for people to use.
I'm a huge nerd for TLDs and that's is just awesome. My last name is too obscure to have something that cool but it's so neat to have that as an option.
I wanted something like, the ccTLD was available for it, but I couldn’t find a registrar to buy it from, when it finally became available, it appears the country is trying to sell the domain at a premium bec it’s short (3 letters) so I’m sad.
