Email address format for a common first and last name?

So I'm an asian guy with a sort of common asian name. I've been trying different combinations of my name on gmail to find a more professional email address. My current address is something like "[email protected]". I cannot set up my university email to allow me to send emails via the university email (I can only receive emails through the university email).

I was thinking of using a format like "[email protected]" or even sticking my saints name as an unofficial middle name. I'm actively avoiding using any numbers or any odd character.

I know that gmail itself isn't very professional but as a freshman I just need something that will get me by and I might as well set up an email that I can use for forwarding later on in my career.

yeah i cant really make an email with that format as they are all taken, I was just looking for some alternative formats that can keep it relatively professional.

p.s. gmail ignores periods in the email so your email would be the same as [email protected]
