Interesting. I have a similar requirement for a Membership site.

In my case we will carry over Real Names from a separate site with registration using SSO. We will allow users to adopt usernames for taking part in the Discourse conversation, but we want them to always be linked to a Real Name on their profile, and so do not want them to be able to change it once it has been populated during registration.

Is this possible?
