    modelBuilder.Entity<Customer>()
        .HasIndex("IX_Customers_Name",          // Provide the index name.
            e => e.Property(x => x.LastName),   // Specify at least one column.
            e => e.Property(x => x.FirstName))  // Multiple columns as desired.

        .HasIndex("IX_Customers_EmailAddress",  // Supports fluent chaining for more indexes.

  }
}

Notes

After publishing this, I was informed that there is an active pull request here to add something similar directly into Entity Framework. Therefore, this project will likely be short-lived. Feel free to use it as you like, but I'll probably take it offline after the official version is published.
