Only problem is with big companies, there is often more than 1 John.Smith!!
You can got to initials, but after that its numbers, a friend is Chris.Lynn22@... (A very large company in case you hadn't guessed!)

It has to be firstname.surname unless you are absolutely convinced you'll never grow and hire more employees. I think it looks really mickey mouse to see (for example) john@reallybigcompany.com.

well that was fairly decisive.
tho everyone prefers the fullname, the americans have some poncey system whereby emails goes over there then come back & takes presidency over A.D. so i guess will have to stick with initials. I'll put aliases in there anyway & make sure they use outlook rather then their poncey intranet....
i'll tell hr that they cant hire more than 2 john smiths then
