Account Usernames will almost always be the member’s First Name followed by their Last Name separated by a period and all in lower case.

For example if the member’s name is Sam Spade then their Username will be “sam.spade”.  

An exception would be a double first or last name. Spaces in a first name or last name are not allowed and will be replaced by a hyphen. So, if the name is Billy Bob Spade then the Username will be “billy-bob.spade”.

Usernames must be unique.  Duplicates are not allowed. Repeats will have a number appended to the Username. So, the first John Smith to join will get the Username “john.smith”, the second one will be “john.smith1” and the third will be “john.smith2” etc.
