'Professional' email dilemma

I have the domain @firstnameLastname.co.uk. What would be a professional prefix for applying for grad schemes and jobs? currently I have one as 'hello@' but it seems too informal to me?

"admin"

"root"

"BoJo" (maybe not)

"GB7201369A"

"flash"

"offer"

"best"

"office"

"A113" (PIXAR Easter egg)

(can't you map 'any' prefix if you run your own mail domain, so "any" would work too), remember to watch out for spam hijackers targeting weak mail servers - that's why not many ppl run their own, allowing Gooooogle to (hopefully) handle the DKIM, DMARC and constant attacks from eastern maths supremos, who will pump and dump a billion viagra adverts from YOUR @firstnameLastname.co.uk, in the worst case...

as a backup plan, UK does allow you to change your name for a tenner or two , by deed-poll, should your mail domain be ever hacked, and your name tarnished in GDPR history,,,,,,or simply be added to DNSBL blacklists....Me, no, never heard of @firstnameLastname.co.uk

..it'll probably not happen, but patch often
