      I have a first name that is of Saxon origin but this name has also developed in Sanskrit independently from the Saxon name and the name is very common in India. One of my email addresses is [firstname][email protected] I often get email directed to some Indian bloke. And it’s always for a different guy. I think these people don’t have an email and just make one up when they signed up for something. I even get someone’s banking communications.

      I have just my last name, and get signed up for all kinds of bullshit by people with my last name because they’ll enter firstname<space>[email protected] when signing up for stupid shit.

      There was a mixup with a German teacher in France once and all of her students sent their homework to my email instead of hers. That was fun!
