since when can you trademark a saint's name? it makes me sick how much people feel the need to "own" things that belong to no one!

For sure! And if I did start my own clothing business, I wouldn't USE their name, and I would have a DIFFERENT E-mail address. Come on, I'm smarter than that. =P

And if you look up "Kambriel" on Google, there's tons of websites. A lot of them mention the clothing compoany I E-mailed, but there are also lots of message boards and stuff with people who use the name "Kambriel" as their user names. It's just absurd.

I don't think you could use it to push clothes you've designed, as it would be recognized/cause confusing in that industry, but as a random email address, I don't see what they could possible do about it.

No, of course I wouldn't use it in any form - Kambriel or Kambrielle or anything, because it's their name and they had it first, and so be it. But just as an E-mail address? Not something to get so worked up about. Christ. *Frustrated sigh*
