I don't very much like the l[astname] part.
That will make for very strange defaults for people who use a middle initial
or have something like 'van' or 'di' between their first and last names.
Example: Goswin von Brederlow => goswinv ??
Personally, I always use 'fjp' (my initials), so I find myself backspacing any
default that's offered (I'm not asking for a change though ;-).
Cheers,
FJP
