Thank You

Gmail/Yahoo AutoSuggestion
Gmail is suggesting a username by generating a Random String depending upon the First name and Lastname by adding some random characters to it.
ex: firstname: john
lastname: smith
Autosuggested Name: johnsmith198, john.34smith, smith45.john etc..
The way THEY do it is by considering the FIRST NAME and LAST NAME that a user enters, also sometimes the birthdate etc.
After considering the FN and LN their code searches closest UNUSED username.
Say like FN.LN, LN.FN, FNLNbirthdate or FNRandomnumber.
Obviously you’ll have to CODE or copy code from somewhere as to what exactly your Application would suggest the username as.
If any problems still i would be glad to help 🙂
