So I've added various custom fields to the registration page of my WooCommerce webshop as following:

add_action('woocommerce_register_form_start','my_extra_register_fields');

}
That works all fine, but currently the "username" is being generated by the e-mail address, which at first isn't really a problem but as the our focus customers are businesses (Because it's a b2b shop) there will be a lot of customers having the info@theirwebsite.com
Which results in their username being info... which isn't really that great to have. So my question would be, how would I configure WooCommerce/WordPress to generate the username by the custom fields: First Name (billing_first_name) and Last Name (billing_last_name)?
I'd like this so that the usernames will just be the names of the customers like FirstName-LastName instead of having info1...info2...etc...
Thanks in advance for further information!
