Well, this is entertaining for some people.
I worked with Richard Moore and Richard Johns. Both of whom went by Dick.
So we got emails from Moore Dick and Johns Dick (I once forwarded an email from Johns Dick to my sister's bf, John, and asked that his penis stop emailing me.) We always laugh at what would happen if Dick Wolf, producer of Law and Order worked at my office: I could get emails from Wolf Dick.
Oh, and don't get me started on Richard Wack, network administrator (and thus mass emailer) for my alma mater. Nothing like sending thousands of college students daily emails from a guy named Dick Wack.

first initial+last name for their work emails
What's wrong with human-readable?
As for Dick, it's just a name. A very traditional name, too. Consider the old phrase for a random person: "Any Tom, Dick, or Harry".
I've known a lot of people named Dick, and never had any problem using their name. I got out of the second grade a long time ago.

We have a physician in town whose name is David Dick. He decided to have his kids take his wife's maiden name just to avoid being tormented during their childhood.
I still don't understand how you get Dick from Richard. Why wouldn't you go by Rich or Rick or Just live with Richard.

haha that's awesome. My company uses a first initial+last name for their work emails and there's a person named Pat Ennis so his email used to be PENNIS. Unforunately he's my boss's boss's boss, so I don't got the opportunity to make fun of that one. Last I saw, they changed his email though.
