look like they have the same author.
See below, but I definitely would -1 any attempt to require uniqueness
across "human" names.
Another approach is to make both the formal name and the username
more visible, for instance by adding the username alongside the other
name in mashup lists ala email:
John Smith (jsmith)
Or the other way around "jsmith (John Smith)" to make it crystal clear
that the username is paramount.
I think I'll do that for now rather than yank formal names...

Also, "Formal" name seems a bit of a strange term, since it has
connotations of both "this is the canonical/legal name" (as in formal
declarations) and "this is very stuffy-uppity" (as in a formal dance).
"Full name" seems to be what a lot of sites use for this.
