My family name .name seems also not used for the last 15 years, so I asked if I could get it but the guy told me that he and his family are using it for their email-addresses. So then I asked if I could have the my-firstname@lastname.name email address and he agreed and I’ve been using it ever since. But yeah the domain would have been nice for my family too. Instead I got a domain with the name of the village we lived in as children and my parents still own the house there.
I’d be pretty concerned if you got anything important or confidential to that address. While anyone in control of your email can see your email, Microsoft, Google and the like are much less likely to go snooping.
