I have noticed that some users are using prohibited words as their name. However, I couldn’t find an option in the backend to restrict user name. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Do you mean this setting?
admin - all site settings - users - reserved usernames

Oh there is a feature request
This is likely to have come up before but I couldn’t find any topic on it, so here we go: it would be great if we could restrict names just like we can restrict usernames in the reserved usernames site setting so that we can The reasons are basically the same as for usernames: we’d like to prevent people from using words like “support” or “admin” or “<our domain>” as part of their name.
A workaround is, of course, to disable real names altogether, but since the code already exists for username…
