Email Addresses

I recently had to choose a new email address when I switched from Comcast to Verizon. I only had one or two minutes to make this extremely important decision. I didn't realize how useful it would have been to prepare in advance. I couldn't just use my previous email address because it contained my ex-married last name. I decide to go with my and Jay's initials and out last name, no luck. It was already taken. Then I thought about adding Brett's first initial because he uses the email account also. Can't just add Brett's initial because his last name isn't Tyler and he might be offended. The ending results is an email address from Hell - jatylerbfrancis@verizon.net. It doesn't fit within the spaces designated on forms, it doesn't roll off the tongue and it is just too damn long. Next decision - do I go ahead and change it, or just live with in?
