Are you having a problem doing so?  I can add them with "adduser
hi_this_username_is_long"  :)

Some GUI tools (which I don't use) may restrict you to 8 chars, since
older versions of Linux (and other Unices) only had 8 characters in
their utmp structures.  Longer usernames wouldn't work well there.
