Argent, Keep in mind once the feature is implemented:
One will be able to choose "Captain America"
with captain.america becoming his unique username.
And it wouldn't be fair to prevent anyone else to RP "Captain America" as
his display name. So if there is a restriction it can only be on current/old
"First.Last" usernames, which are unlikely to create such conflicts.
