I've received a Gmail invitation-- which, after experiencing the joys of reading POP3 mail via Mail2Web from an Internet cafe, is an attractive proposition. Problem is, gmail addresses must be at least 6 characters long, which means peter@gmail.com is out. I'm not crazy about using my last name in my email address, since I always wind up having to spell it out for people and they get it wrong anyway. So psarrett, petersarrett, and so forth are out. peters, which I don't really like anyway because it reads "peters" and not "Peter S", is already taken. I'm looking for something that's easy to remember and, when said aloud, suggests an obvious, unambiguous spelling.
The comments are open for your suggestions.

As for a gmail name... MSPete? ZombiePete?

Posted by: Jack on June 22, 2004 4:47 PMHey - can you use an underline? Why not Pete_S?
Posted by: Larry on June 23, 2004 5:52 AMZombiePete is good...how about PeteTheZombie?
But hurry up: the good names are all getting taken!
