Hmm.. good point. I supposed we could always set up an email address that is myfirstname.portmanteau@gmail.com and have it forward. But, my current email address is not firstname.lastname@gmail.com. Also, when you are figuring out email addresses, how do you know which domain they use, and how they have their email address structured? Do you just send the email invite to all firstname.lastname@domain.com? What if someone is firstinitiallastname@otherdomain.com? Honest question, just very curious about this and it's a point I hadn't though of. [/quote]

When I get class e-mails from school, this is how the e-mails are set up (when they're visible): Child Name <e-mail address>, Child Name 2 <e-mail address>. So it's clear which e-mail address goes with which child. The same with sign-up sheets, which would have three columns: child's name, parent's name, e-mail address. I don't think I've ever encountered a situation where I got a mass of e-mail addresses unattached to a child's name. And then, of course, plenty of people have e-mail addresses like love2petcats@hotmail.com, or whatever. And that's not even mentioning the many mothers (I am one) whose children have the children's father's last name, not the mother's.

In short, PP's experience may be different, but I, personally, have never been in a situation where I would be able to figure out the e-mail address if the parent had the same last name as the child but would not be able to if the parent didn't.[/quote]
