Invalid Mail Nickname

I'm trying to add a user to my B2C Tenant, and am getting an error stating that the mail nickname is invalid.

I created the nickname by concatenating the trimmed firstname and lastname without any included spaces.

I think the trouble might be that this user is Russian...

I can't find any definitive specification of what characters are allowed in this attribute.

Does anyone know of such a document, or how to overcome this issue? Thanks

The mailNickname property of the user object isn't used by Azure AD B2C so it is common to set this property value to "Unknown".

Have you tried this:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2824766/mailnickname-or-alias-attribute-in-exchange-online-doesn-t-match-what

The Alias or Mailnickname attribute in Microsoft Exchange Online doesn't match what is set in the Exchange on-premises environment for a synced user account.
