Actually I want to do that for my power apps project. I want to show name selection list to the user. The aim is to sending an e mail based on the name and surname information provided by the user. Currently I offer name and e mail options together but this is not something user friendly.

If you use a people picker field, you don't need to capture email separately. You can utilize the user identity from people picker to send email.

  X10933333333 If you are using person or group column in SharePoint, you can easily get the email address from same column inside power apps.
  
  Don't use two separate text fields for user name & email because they are chances users may enter wrong name or email. So it's always better to user person or groups column. It also shows the user suggestions while entering the data in the field.
  
  Example: If you are showing the data in gallery inside power apps, you can show the email address from person or group column in label control by setting its "Text" property to:
  
  ThisItem.PersonOrGroupColumnName.Email
  
  Replace "PersonOrGroupColumnName" with name of your person or group column.
