FirstInitial LastName is common format. I knew someone named Aaron Ryan who got stuck with the email address “aryan@company.com”.
Just one dot dividing the name would make it a lot better
Thankfully, a.ryan@example.com and aryan@example.com should be delivered to the same inbox.
There is no requirement to do so, although GMail's adoption of this non-standard seems to have popularized the practice.
I stand corrected. I haven't used anything other than proton mail in a while and it works there. I thought it was part of the standard
