Took a while to get a first name @ company email address.

I work for a large company 50k employees (not in IT) with the standard email format <firstname>.<lastname>@company.com

The company has a automated way to change your email address if your name changes, so I changed my last name to @. which allowed me officialy change my email address to <firstname>.@company.com. Then raised an IT fault to get my email address 'fixed' and remove the . after my name.
