Managing Usernames
It is recommended that usernames reflect a logical relationship between the
username and the user who uses the account. It is important that rules are
established to ensure that usernames are:
Systematic
Easy to follow and implement
Similar (that is, the user's account name corresponds with the user's
actual name)
Using a combination of the user's first name, middle initial, and last name
results in systematic usernames for every member of a particular organization.
Common examples include:
First initial followed by last name (jdoe for John Doe)
First initial followed by middle initial and last name (jqpublic for John
Q. Public)
Last name followed by first initial (DoeJ for Jane Doe)
When two users have the same initials or name, several alternatives can be
used to create unique names. For example, a number can be added to the end
of the username (jdoe1 and jdoe2). You can also apply systematic naming
rules (jdoe=John Doe and doej=Jane Doe).
Other conventions can be applied. Just ensure that conventions are both
systematic and consistent.
