Literally every company I worked in assigned name.surname@company.com, I don’t know why people would complicate their life by doing literally anything else.
You’ve not worked in large companies then because people end up having the same first and last names as each other. Collision with names is literally unavoidable in large companies. Also for people who don’t have a single last name, it can get confusing. Do you do First.Last.Last@company or just tell them to pick a favorite last name? (Which is potentially difficult for some people for personal reasons.) Honestly, just give people a chance to tell you what they want to be called, and this all smooths over.
Company I most recently joined gave me name.surname1@company.com. Unfortunately there was someone else with the exact same name combination. Feels bad man.

Because 30 years ago we didn’t have enough letters or something and people stick with tradition because change is apparently really hard to do.
