At this moment Open Social provides a nick name field via the Social Profile Fields module.

There are a few use cases where platforms would like the nick name to be unique. E.g. when it's meant as the primary "name" field. When in that case a lot of users have the same nick name (and often no image uploaded) it becomes very hard to distinguish between users.

It's probably a good idea to support this via Open Social.
