Email Name Generator
Find a clean, professional email address from your name.
Availability is not checked. Copy the one you like and confirm it with your email provider.
An email address you will not regret
Your email address follows you for years. It appears on CVs, invoices and sign-up forms. Choosing a clean one now saves an awkward migration later.
Enter your name and the generator produces the common professional formats. Add your domain to see the full address.
How to choose an email format
- Enter your first and last name.
- Optionally add your domain and a separator preference.
- Pick the style: professional, short or casual.
- Copy the address you like and check it with your provider.
The formats that work
- first.last is the standard for work. It reads naturally and is easy to dictate.
- firstlast is common when the dot version is taken.
- flast and f.last suit large organisations with strict naming rules.
- first alone is friendly but often unavailable.
- hello@ and contact@ work for a business rather than a person.
What to avoid
Avoid years of birth, nicknames from school, and strings of numbers. They date quickly and look unprofessional on a job application. Avoid hyphens and underscores unless your organisation requires them, because they are easy to forget when someone types your address from a business card.
Also avoid an address that is easy to misspell. If your name is unusual, the simpler format is usually worth the compromise.
For a business
Use a domain you own. A custom domain looks credible and survives a change of provider. Role addresses such as hello@, support@ and billing@ are useful, but make sure a real person reads them.
When you are ready to register the domain, keep the name short and easy to say. The Slug Generator is useful for matching the domain to your brand, and the Mission Statement Generator helps if you are still shaping the business.
Frequently asked
Are these email addresses available?
No. Availability depends on the provider and cannot be checked from the browser. Copy your favourites and check them with Gmail, Outlook or your domain host.
Which format looks most professional?
First.last is the safest for work. It is easy to read, easy to say aloud and unlikely to be confused with someone else.
Should I add numbers?
Only when the plain version is taken. Numbers make an address harder to remember and can look informal.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Enter your domain and the generator shows full addresses. Without a domain, it shows the part before the @.
Is my name stored?
No. Everything is generated in your browser.
