On of the UoEd’s schools used to use login names based on initials but
they
were at least 3 characters long.* People without a middle name got an “x”
inserted, so S.... W.... (not me) was “sxw”.** It looked odd when you
first
saw one - “oh, I didn’t know Steve’s middle name was Xavier...”
There's still some cachet in having an ongoing login with "1" as a
suffix in Cambridge. Maybe other places too.
Especially one of the original four-character logins (RXP1, etc.)
