I actually considered an email address like firstname@lastname.com. I figured I could add my parents, or future children.
But this only works for obscure last names or unusual TLDs. There's also the issue of family relationships - people get divorced, grow up and want more independence, etc. Marrying email to a family domain could be messy.
