On the last system I was on, logins were all three character initials.
That worked well for everyone but me.  I have no middle name.  I decided
to use "wmm".  "wm" from William, and the last "m" from Moss.
Soon I started getting memos addressed to "William W. Moss".  I guess
my login gave me a middle name.

Here at EOSC most logins are the last name of the person.
I will agree that this makes it easy to look and see who is on the system,
but I have noticed that people here call each other mainly by there last name.
It somehow does not seem as friendly as it could.
