Can't create my wanted email name?
 

I have tried many times to create the email name of my choice. Now I have a very unique name, and trust me it would be highly unlikely there is someone with my name as an email address, let alone 11 of them! When I go to configure it, it suggests my name without a full stop. I want my email address to appear like my blueyonder one. So that would be first.sirname11@virginmail.com. Yet everytime I have tried it it just keeps kicking it out saying that it is in use! It will then keep kicking it out until I got to first.sirname@virginmail.com at which point I have given up lol.

What gives, why is it not letting me choose my email address with my name in it? I can't give my real name out to prove it is pretty unique for obvious reasons!

Any Virgin guys wanna comment?

Maybe it's because you may already have forename.surname11 as an alias for your blueyonder.co.uk address?

I would call technical support as they can check to see if the is any issue with getting you alias on the account.
