Windows 2003 - AD - User object - Change name property

I have windows 2003 domain (AD) and exchange 2003...

In AD when I create a new user, the "name" of the new AD object in most cases is the first and last name of the user...

I would like to be the "user logon name" (what is left from @)... For example in the John Doe the name I want to be the JDoe and not the John Doe...

1) Why the name is the full name of the user?
2) In new users, how can I set the desired name?
3) In existed users can I change the name?

Thank you

I forgot, the other option for #3 is to use Microsoft's ADModify tool:

Remember to have good backups before making ANY configuration change to Active Directory
