Mine ends in .by as my surname does as well and people still say "Is that it?"

EG if my surname was "Gummersby" my email domain is "Gummers.by"

If your surname contains an "a", say Gaddersby, you could also do "g@dders.by" to confuse people even more

Try spelling that, though. :)

I have purchased some domains for myself and my friends based on that rule, like rubinste.in, fedorovi.ch, or oba.ma (not real names). They thought it's cute but didn't hold them for long.

A friend with a last name that ends in ..skova wasn't so lucky as Vatican doesn't sell domain names.
