- be a word (esp. not in English or Spanish)

- a person
- common first name, e.g. "benjamin"
- common last name, e.g. "pfeiffer"
- name of person in tango history, e.g. Pugliese, Francini, Castillo
Rationale for eight letter rule
- users that sign up later shall not have the disadvantage of longer names, vs users that sign up early and get shorter.
- presenting all username in a list gives a more harmonious picture if they are of equal length
