Feature Request: Disable auto-generated @username

Right now the @username is auto-generated from the email alias. This is why many members have curious usernames like <a data-user_name="accounts" class="fcom_mention fcom_route" href="https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/u/accounts/">Troy Clark</a>, <a data-user_name="info" class="fcom_mention fcom_route" href="https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/u/info/">Daren Shaw</a>, <a data-user_name="wordpress" class="fcom_mention fcom_route" href="https://community.wpmanageninja.com/portal/u/wordpress/">Mat</a> ...

I would prefer to disable this separate username. For my use-cases it would be fine, to only have first and lastname. And mentioning someone should just work with @Firstname Lastname.

Or alternatively make the @username configurable for the user.

Indeed, it would be great if the user can choose one instead of generating those crazy ones. Or at least suggest the first name etc.
