Choosing a good email name is necessary because it represents you or your business in many different ways.
getting good email names in gmail and outlook is a big challenge nowadays because most email addresses are already taken.
Today, I’m going to show you some email name ideas and how you can choose a perfect email address name for yourself or your business.
If you own a domain or website, getting an email address of your choice is easy, like admin@domain.com
how to choose the best email address for you?
Before you start, I would recommend creating an account with email service providers like gmail or outlook because of their services and features.
Both of these email providers are completely free, and you may get any email usernames you like, like yourname@gmail.com or yourname@outlook.com.
Also, if your name is very common, you will have trouble getting a common email address like yourname@gmail.com or firstname[dot]lastname@gmail.com.
so let’s take a few steps to get a perfect email address.
1: Try with FirstName and LastName Combination
The best thing to do with an email address is to include your name if possible.
for example:
- johndoe@gmail.com
- john@gmail.com or john@outlook.com
if you have a common name like mine, you can try different combinations of your name. for example:
- doejohn@gmail.com
- itsjohndoe@gmail.com
- thisisjohn@gmail.com
- jdoe@gmail.com
2: try using a dot between names
If step 1 doesn’t work for you, you can try adding a period or underscore (if allowed) to the name of your email address.
for example:
- john[dot]doe@outlook.com
- doe[dot]john@outlook.com
3: avoid using nicknames
I’ve seen a lot of emails, people include their nickname and have cool email names like handsome, boy, cute, princess, etc. seriously, avoid those kinds of names when creating any email, whether it’s for personal or professional use.
When we create any email address, we need to make sure that the email name should be easy to remember, easy to pronounce, and meaningful.
4: avoid using numbers
You should always avoid number and hyphens when creating any email address. never use the following pattern in your email address:
- john12021980@outlook.com
- john999@outlook.com
- john-doe1@outlook.com
These types of emails look very unprofessional. therefore, avoid using numbers and hyphens and make it look clean.
how to choose a professional email address?
if you have any business then you must have a website or email host and if not then you can try google gsuite.
gsuite allows you to create a custom email address with your domain name without having any website.
1: Try with Business Name Itself
The name you choose for your business is more likely to be unique. therefore, it is easy to receive an email with your business name in gmail or outlook.
Also, if you’re using a custom domain, there’s nothing to worry about. Try the following example:
- freshcheesshop@gmail.com
- freshcheesshop@outlook.com
- order@freshcheesshop.com
- admin@freshcheesshop.com
2: try adding location
If your business is global or your business is country specific, then adding a location to your email name is not a bad idea. try using the following combinations:
- freshcheesshopusa@gmail.com
- freshcheesshop.london@gmail.com
- admin.usa@freshcheesshop.com
- admin.uk@ freshcheesshop.com
3: try adding the designation
If you run an organization and want a lot of different emails for your company, department, and employees, it’s also a good idea to create a smart email for the designation.
for example:
- ceo@yourcompany.com
- admin@yourcompany.com
- sales@yourcompany.com
4: avoid using numbers in your company email
Like I said before, always avoid using numbers in your email address. however, using numbers in a personal email is very common nowadays, but never do it in your professional email address.
never trust me.
