Description

I singed in with Gmail the provider. My name on gmail is Allan Daemon, and instead of taking the complete name, or asking-me my username, it just picked Allan4, and I found it terrible.

So, allowing user been able to change the user name, whether in the profile settings page, whether when the user creates a account, is something very desirable.

One alternative is at least try to stay with something close with the original username. I have a unique user name all over the web (Allan Daemon or AllanDaemon) and here on speakerfight is the only exception.

Research direction
Look at the account creation logic in the codebase to add a username field during signup, and store it in the database, possibly with uniqueness validation.
