gpg --allow-freeform-uid --gen-key

       --allow-freeform-uid
              Disable all checks on the form of the user ID while generating a
              new one. This option should only be used in very  special  envi‐
              ronments  as  it does not ensure the de-facto standard format of
              user IDs.
