      Finger bang bang into your life!

      Seriously though, my experience with requesting a name change from the university IT dept. has been very positive.

    My wife’s name sounds like Annette Alonso (not her real name - this one is made up) , and her new employer had standardised emails the first two letters from the first name and the first two letters from last name. You bet she was furious with anal@company.com, given that she was going to be working with clients. She ultimately got it changed to anna@company.com

      I think “anal@company.com” is pretty unique and easy to remember.

    As Nikita Grigorev, I was given an allcaps username made out of first two letters of my name and two letters of surname. I complained, but I was told that the process is a process. They changed for the ANAL guy before, but not for me. So I was called basically a slur for two years

    When I worked for my university’s Student Computing department, usernames were all “up to 7 characters from surname + the first letter of their given name.” So there were plenty of stories about bad usernames that the admins would have to fix.

    The best one for me, personally, was when I helped a student out whose surname was Takashi and his first name started with a T.

    It didn’t help that no one at Oregon State considered the ‘www’ when they chose the school’s first domain name. So that turned into takashit@www.orst.edu

    Edit to add: This was in the mid-90s. That was that guy’s first and (at the time) only email address.

      Oregano State used “www” in their email domain? I totally buy it, but in the “what kinda non tech manager decided on that” kinda way

        By the end of the first term, www.orst.edu became ‘osu.orst.edu’ (www still worked, but nothing linked to it). Then over the summer everything was changed to oregonstate.edu.

      I worked at a place a decade ago where I worked with schools in my country. An admin at a school called; her name was Barbara. Her last name was, and I’m not making this up, “Adcock”.

      Her E-mail was “badcock@school”

      I couldn’t help but to think “what if her name was Rachel? Or Deborah? Or Sandra?”

    Worked at a company where emails were first initial then last name. So there was a guy named Shawn Lutz so his email was SLutz@email.com

    It seemed I was the only one really aware of that since he almost never sent emails

    Reminds me of Education Queensland’s approach to creating usernames. First letter of the first name, first four letters of the surname. Followed by a sequential number.

    I nearly lost it when I saw a staff member by the name of something like Sharon Laverton (names slightly anonymised, but odds are someone else by that name exists) have an email that not only started slave, but also ended with a number for that final dehumanising touch. slave384@eq.edu.au.
