I got my (uncommon but not rare) surname and country code, similar to for example smith.uk, so I can have an email address like (but not exactly) john@smith.uk. That’s good enough for me.
I would like to do this with .com but has been held for several years so went with a newer TLD. It’s mostly been fine aside from occasional person whose mail provider sends me to spam or the very few who block me outright.
I got the .net and .org of my last name, and offered $50 to the owner of the .com as he wasn’t doing anything with it. Kind of a lowball, admittedly, but I would’ve gone up to a hundred or two. Instead, he told me it was worth thousands, which, lol, but then he didn’t renew it, which I only found out because a random third person reached out to me as the owner of the .net offering me the .com. Turns out they hadn’t actually bought it yet, though, so instead I scooped it up and now I’ve got the trifecta!

My surname ends the letters ai, I’m tempted to get my surname as a domain to do exactly what you did, but .ai domains are so expensive…
