I think computer systems exist that are advanced enough to block such a request ;-) I guess they would work like the existing system, that blocks you if you try to register an account with an existing combination of First and Last name. Additionally, this system would also check for further combinations of existing First and Last name. That is, LanceCorrimal won't be accepted, Lance.Corrimal won't be accepted, Opensource.Obscure won't be accepted, etc In the current registration process you don't find a Linden kindly asking you not to use existing names. There's a system filter at work, that has been probably modified in order to support the new system.
