Is it safe using your full name in your email address?

I understand but your display name is already your first and last name. So if I didn’t put my middle name in my email address, I should be completely fine right? If you ever search up my first and last name on google, you’ll most likely get hundreds of results. Plus I hope that Apple protects our personal information so that they can get any information besides our full name and email address.

I don’t think someone can get personal information just through an email address right?

Yeah! I’m not too worried about it. When I had to make a professional emails because they were teaching about how to be professional in school. They always told me to use my first and last name. My name is also quite common and I doubt they can commit any frauds or hack into your phone just with your email address and full name. Government security and Apple’s security is quite strict at the moment. Although, I’m not sure about gmails. I feel like google wouldn’t protect us as much as Apple does but need to use gmail. 🤷‍♀️ I think as long as you personal information such as your address or bank information, etc. you should be completely fine right? Plus, if you ever get spam emails with someone pretending to know you, you would obviously block.

I was just trying to get peoples opinion on it because a lot of people say it’s unsafe which scared me for a second. All my email addresses are first.last@mail.com in different variations like I added a couple numbers to it. I’ve never had a problem with the fact that my name is in my email, no one has ever done anything bad to it. Plus it’s a lot less embarrassing compared to the one I made as a kid and I don’t seem like some random suspicious person emailing a company/a person.

Oh! And heads up, when I said “I understand but your display name is already your first and last name.” I was referring to how when you send a email through the mail app, your display name is your first and last name. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Haha! I’ve never had a problem with spam emails from hackers. That might be because I never check my emails. I swear probably everyone in this world has my email as I use it for everything. My email is just my first name last name and a couple of numbers because first.last@mail.com was taken. A lot of different variations was as well.

Although, if you did have a stalker, you would obviously inform the police right away and hopes that it all gets resolved. I doubt they can hack into your email that easily but if it were on social media, super easy to hack at the moment. I doubt anyone is dumb enough to click suspicious links from unknown people but who knows at this point, you’re never safe on the internet. I do think most people use their first and last name in their email address as well as the display name. When you’re creating the email address, it basically forces you to add your first and last name at first but of course you can change it in the future. I’m not too worried about this, as long as they don’t have any really personal information about me, I think I should be safe. Hopefully right? Haha

Oh really? I can’t seem to change it.
