A company I worked for used three letters for username, so first character of your first, middle and last-name. I don't have a middle name, it's not unheard of, but it's also not as common as it used to be. Another colleague had no options, all relevant combinations you could make from his name was already in use, so they slapped a P in front, because he as a project manager. For years I was trying to move a company from multiple fields for addresses to just one big text box. We didn't really do anything with the information, so we didn't need to know your postal code as such. We just need to be able to print a customers address on a label. The amount of systems that for some reason wanted to know every separate part of the address was just crazy, and again never really used for anything. One system would map the address fields into another, from there again mapped into a third system and then mapped into the label print system. Why not just have a text box, and parse that through? I never got that implemented.
