It'd be great if users could still edit their usernames after they sign up.

My usecase for this is I want to use "Realname registration" because it simplifies the registration process as I don't want the user entering a username and their full name. But at the same time I want to give the user the ability to change their username if they want for two reasons, it makes it easier to login if they can choose a common username they like to use and I can also use it as the URL to their profile (e.g. mysite.com/user/[username]) and they might want to change this and not make it their fullname.

In effort to make the module as flexible as possible, at the very least I'll make an option to toggle this feature request.

The newly selected name should not be a duplicate on one already existing i.e., name clash detection code needed. Appreciate the hard work going into this much needed module.

Maybe also auto change existing user names ??? For example if i had used a user name of jon21 and my names are jon see live, the auto change would make it "jslive" and post it on the screen for user after login.

And by the way, this is a fantastic module.
