I own the domain for my last name (firstname@lastname.countrycode) and get people all the time insisting it can't be my real email. I also own a short domain based on my last name (like last.nm) which is very useful and techy people think it's pretty cool.
May I ask, where do you come from? I use
firstname@lastname.devdomain, and even elderly people never question it. When I bought it, I was considering.pl(my country's TLD), because I thought that people would be suspicious of the.dev, but suprisingly they aren't.Exactly the same for me. I was worried people will not get it but it has never been a problem for almost 2 years now.
I own the domain firstname.countrycode so my email address is email@firstname.countrycode, haven't really had many people comment on it though. the previous owner didn't do anything with it and I thought about buying it from him, but a few years ago he forgot to renew it so I snatched it up
