dont put anything obscene in an email. go with theotherside’s suggestion. or if you dont want to use yoru fullname just do the first parts like if you name is john doe, make your email jdoe. Aviod the number 0 b/c it can be mistaken for the letter O. But having numbers in your email account is fine. I have heard comments from my boss who I do research for that some students will apply for programs with names like “pimpdaddy” or other ones like “jesuslover” and they are kinda off putting, mainly b/c they categorize you as one type of person. It should be obvious why something like “pimp” is inappropriate, but other names like “jesuslover” can make people uncomfortable. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with being proud of your faith, it is a good idea to choose a more middle of the road name. Many kids use names with sports in them or activites they do, and these work well too
