And as a bonus you snagged firstnamelastname without realising.
This alone makes Gmail a better service than most providers. All of the similar but different address confusions avoided.

Oh I know.
There's someone with a variation of my first name (think "Steven" versus "Steve") who absolutely cannot get their shit sorted and gives out my address as theirs all over the place using "longerFirstNameLastname" but fucks it up and uses my address instead. I tried emailing them directly once letting them know, got accused of "hacking their google" and now I just delete some important looking emails like travel reservations and digital gift card redemption things for Xbox.
