I find the user can still set some names like admin as their full name (not username), is there a way that I can disallow this?

Hi,

To my knowledge its not possible to restrict names. There was a feature request a while back but didn’t gain much traction

> 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…

Sounds like it would take a plugin.

Yes, and if you do it you have to be _really_ careful to have a way to whitelist exceptions.

I had a custom plug-in for this (May even stil have the code on my git server) and hit a snag when we had a user try to join and set his Name to his actual name because his first name is legitimately, **Admin**.

Oh wow! This would be an excellent addition to [https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/](https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/)

Apparently I deleted the repo as I can’t find it now. I’m asking the other person who was an admin on that instance if they still have the code.
