What happens if someone was to make a new account named "Nathan Malcolm"?
If someone was to make an account just for the sake to taking that specific name, it would be renamed/deleted.

If a legitimate user was to register with that username (Highly unlikely, but still possible) we'd contact them asking them to choose a different username. Smile
Nawww I was gonna try Toungue

It would be nice, as a feature of mybb, to be able to ban specific usernames

For example, why should anyone need to make an account named "Administrator"
