So I'm in the process of onboarding at Google but I'm being asked to choose an @google.com username. I suppose my two choices are professional (first initial, last name... Etc.) or personal (nickname). I'll be a SWE so I won't be interacting outside of the company too much and all of the nicknames I'm considering are playful takes on my real name (nothing unprofessional). However I'm not a fresh college grad, have several years of experience, and believe strongly in professionalism. Does the culture at Google reward playful names, or am I better playing it safe?

I have a coworker who worked there for a decade and has a pretty playful email id. So, go for it.
Can you choose whatever you want? I would tumblr the shit out of it

You can always create additional aliases. I'd go with the more official one for your first but doesn't really matter.
Are the rules for aliases just as strict (historically unique)? How much of a process is it?
Historically unique. And be googley/donāt be a dumbass and pick an offensive name
