It's impossible. The latest one was "Jesus Chirst" rather than "Jesus
Christ". How many permutations can you cover? When such a name has
been attempted, it should be kept in the user name file, but made
inaccesible for use. Then if someone else tries to use the name he will
receive a "Name already taken" message.
