E-Mail Names

I agree with you on the professtionalism that is needed when sending an email to businesses, thus why I like my SHU account. It gives me credibility as well as a purpose. My other emails (TammieGurl4Life and AuroranLightning2003) are just fun ways to express myself to friends...

I would be incredibly interested if I could have an email upon graduation from the university. At least until I get a job that gives me an address through their accounts.

A college admissions officer understands that he or she is working with teenagers, so the cutesey names are probably fine. But you probably don't want to look like a teenager when you go out into the real world.

What if you could get "CarlaRaeJackson@alumni.setonhill.edu" ? Would that appeal to you?

I found this article very interesting. While I completely understand the point of being proffessional, and not wanting the rest of the world to know that you see yourself as fuzzybunny69, Im not sure how to respond to this article. Like I said I understand the proffessionalism but I guess my question is where do you draw the line with proffessionalism and creativity. I ask this because I have a screename that I think is trendy in a way but it still has a unique aspect to it and I guess I am wondering if I put it on a college or job application, how would people respond to it.
Well hey lets just find out right now.
My screen name is Wurthyovall, translated to "Worthy of All". If you were a college admissions counselor what would you think about it?

I like mine. brimcbam

You are so cute, Karissa.

Considering I have had a record number of email accounts in my life thus far, this article rings true. I terminated one account that I had opened when I was in seventh grade with the name of staradidas13 (why are brand names SO cool?), as well as another bearing my French class surname, cosette_chica13. I still have one with a quick nickname, twig_e13, but I prefer to use the ones that are more related to me and more predictable, kjk_moi13.

That's my brief history on personal email addresses :)

I liked the article, being an english major I hear teachers and fellow prospective teachers complaining about the use of e-mail. "Students don't take the time like they used to in a normal letter." I hear this from alot of people I know.

Recently I have heard alot about the addresses. Personally I don't like to see some outlandish name in my inbox but I can't say much mine is bulma_moon_2002. It is just what the adressee and the sender prefer I guess. I really did like the article! :)

This articles made me laugh the whole time with the different screen names and email addresses. My screen name Hook2393 gets many laughs from people. Although I cannot publicly say the reason behind it, that is now one of my many nicknames that I have. Plus 23-birthday and 93-Petr Nedved's # (hockey player). Other than that my email address is the normal Firegirl2634 since I am a firefighter. Its interesting to see many different unique screen names and email addresses that show a person's personality and creative style. I do agree, when it comes to college applications, use a different email address, it does look proper and professional.

I know, I think my e-mail: writerone01, is a bit pompous, but I like it just the same. Maybe a future employer will look at it and say, "Wow. Writing must be really important to her. And she thinks she is good. Maybe she is. Hmmm."
