I am planning to host my own mail server at a personal website with my name as the domain name. What is the naming convention for such personal email address at a personal domain? my_name@my_name.com sounds silly and is repetitive.

The biggest downside of using conventions for emails (contact@ webmaster@ admin@ and others) is that it's more likely you'll receive spam. I suggest thinking out of the box here and coming up with something you like hello@my_name.com

As a side note, you probably have a very unique first name if you managed to get it with a .com :)

i use firstname@lastname.com for my personal email, this leaves room for other people (brother, sister, son, daughter, ...) to get their own emails in the domain as well.

I also use Google Apps for this which is a lot easier, probably a lot cheaper, and a lot less fuss than running my own mail server.
