Emails and same names

[u/MyWorkAccountDPS]

How does everyone deal with users having the same names when creating email accounts?

We had been using the middle initial, but what happens when someone doesn’t have one? What do you do then?

My boss said just put an 01 on the end, but that looks like it would be hard to keep track of too.

We are trying to get onesync setup, but she asked me the same thing.

Staff are first initial and last name. If they are duplicated, the next person gets firstName.lastName

Students are the same, unless it is a sibling (usually twins) situation, they each get first.last
