I need to add user names with the general form [FirstName].[LastName]

previous versions (Redhat 7.x) there is no problem.
You are not allowed to have embedded spaces in usernames. The standard
practice is to use a "." to separate the two names:
john.smith
Yes, it works in FC1 and FC2. Be forewarned: using capitalization is
also dangerous. "John.Smith" is NOT the same user as "john.smith" and
can wreak havoc with email. I recommend only using lower-case letters
in user names. RFC822 states that domain names are case-insensitive,
but the "local part" of an email address (the username) is NOT case-
insensitive. As a result, standard practice is to make the usernames
lower case.
