As an admin, I’ve tried to change the username of an inactive account (i.e. registered but never activated) and I’ve go this in error logs:

```
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
Url: http://vamist.ro/assets/vendor-6324f2f5fe44e5bec2112f4d797c1864.js
Line: 15
Column: 69 
Window Location: http://vamist.ro/users/10kerviel/preferences/username

```

For activated account I don’t have any errors.
