Email Names: what does it mean?
Let me make things clear first… email address and email names are just the same. But I think email address sounds better, but they are the same. Since, we have established that, let’s go on to defining what an email name or address means.
A valid email name or address is just the specific location of an email inbox which makes sure that messages sent to that particular email ID get delivered to that exact email inbox.
Next, a valid email name or address like victoriastephen@outlook.com typically consists of three parts which are:
Parts of an email address
The local part which is victoriastephen
The @ symbol
And the domain which is the outlook.com (could be gmail.com or yahoo.com)
Selecting a good email name
I think we all tried creating our first email address when we were teenagers. I’m sure we remember how hard or funny it was trying to get a good email name or address without even realizing that there are things you put into consideration before picking a specific name or address. Today, I will discuss picking good email names or address so that it reflects you.
Right, let’s start….
The first mistake we make when we create our email address is choosing a random email name then later realize that the email name is very awkward. Remember having awkward email names where we were much younger? That’s because we didn’t know the criteria for selecting good email names.
Deciding what email names can be quite difficult most times. You want your email name to reflect your personality but sometimes, what you want isn’t available. Let’s see how you can secure a personal email name successfully.
Choosing a desired Email Service Provider
Before getting a good email name or address, you have to register your email IDs through email service providers like outlook.com, yahoo.com, Gmail.com.
Choosing your preferred email service providers, you should also remember that when you choose a popular service like Gmail.com, getting the desired email name will be hard. Using a less used service like Outlook.com, you find it easier to get an email name.
Whatever it is, just remember that the first step to getting a good email name is first registering your email IDs to your preferred service provider.
Settling on a Name you want to use as Email Name
Now that we have dealt with getting a service provider, we should focus on settling over two or three of your desired email names. This is the base of an email address.
Let’s say, you thought that VictoriaStephen as your desired email name. There are some things you should consider before picking particular email name.
Tips
Make sure that whatever email name you decide to use must be a name that someone can pronounce easily and should be a name that can be easily spelled without having to ask you.
Just in case victoriastephen is not an available email name to be used here are some few tips for you to get that desired email name
