I created my email address when Gmail was still an invitation only platform, and I was 15 at that time. I created a short, somewhat funny, and hard to spell email address by using my initials and how my fiends used to call me at school.

During that time, the email address seemed cool, and I registered to all the websites using that email.

And I also feel very unprofessional when I use the email address for my work. I also don’t want to switch to a new email address which is long and difficult to pronounce and easy for anyone to misspell.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has faced a similar situation, I’m sure there are quite a lot of people who has created dorky email addresses who now feel embarrassed to share with others.
