My son, in the distant past, had an email address left over from his kid days which used the name “greedo” plus a number (Greedo was a character from Star Wars). I, in my paranoia, was worried it would be read as “greed” and a number, which would make him look bad.

To mollify his nutty mom, S made a new address with an innocuous, hard to mistake name for his college applications. I felt better :).
