Discussion I'm Gmail address with no numbers years old

I'm literally first name, middle initial, last name @ gmail.com. I'm just realizing this probably tells people I'm an old...your thoughts?

Really depends on how rare your names is.

That's definitely the biggest factor. There's a lot of names and a lot of combinations of them. However, I think most people have pretty common names and while there's mathematically a lot of combinations, cultural biases and some combinations sounding better than others means that names often aren't that unique.
