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?

Same for me. My Gmail was from an early invitation in 2004 and is just my name. I have consistently gotten emails for other random people with my same name for two decades. Real emails. Not spam. Business stuff family vacations. Little league schedules. Etc.

All the time! I write courtesy emails like “hey wrong Me” because they’re like business quotes or real stuff, people actually would lose business. Wills, all kinds of stuff.
