One character. My employer allows people to choose their
username and a lot of people use initials (of 2-5 letters).

If you are setting up a new policy, I'd suggest something
not based on name at all. Mainly because one of the few
constitutional rights we have is the ability to change
our name after marriage, and sysadmins that refuse to
change the associated username find themselves on the
losing side.

But of course, technically changing the username is a real pain,
so better not to place yourself there at all.
