According to a latest report the spammers start spamming people using mailing lists and these generally are hosted on Alphabetical formats because of which the email address starting with ‘A’ would get 15% more email spams when compared to the spams recieved by emails started with the letter ‘Z’. This is the reason i was recommending you to change your names if you need a better email box.

    My surname starts with V so I should consider myself lucky, I get at least one or two Nigerian letters per day.

    Reading your post, the only thing creeping in my mind was; how much spam will Aaron receive! Probably the only name starting with Aa!

    Even though my name starts with S, i am pretty uncomfortable with the amount of SPAM i am getting. It’s a difficult image to shake knowing you are having worse time ten me with Spams
