def username(lst, name):
    name = name.split(\" \")
    name[0] = name[0].lower()
    name[1] = name[1].lower()
    uname = name[0][0] + name[1][0:7]

names4accounting = [\"Wayne Rothwell\", \"Fatima Scoggin\", \"Isabell Asaro\", \"Shondra Rosinski\", \"Alix Nembhard\", \"Marjory Case\", \"Tamra Buckles\", \"Chara Ruffo\", \"Davida Olmos\", \"Madlyn Cost\", \"Eliza Kober\"]
uname_list = []

print uname_list
