If you need a fictitious email address for an example, use a name that follows the guidance in Names. Never use your own name or the name of friends or family members in an example email address.

Use Buttercup Games, a fictitious online store created by Splunk, as the email domain. See the following examples:

• alex@buttercupgames.com
• buttercup@buttercupgames.com
• info@buttercupgames.com

In cases where it doesn't make sense to use Buttercup Games as the email domain, use the @example.com suffix.
