Etiquette on names part 2- where have all these other tallulah's come from?

I did mention this on the other "etiquette" thread.. once the system has recognised that there is already a user by that name is there a way it could be set to stop someone just adding a number/ extra letter to create a too-similar name?

And/or a warning that too similar names cause confusion and should be avoided? (For ages I thought Marslady and MrsMars were the same person, for example).

In the last few months not only has a tallulahbelle started posting, but also lulatallulah, talulasmum and now a tallulah72. This latest one has started quite a contentious thread and isn't me!!!!! Any time anyone responds to any of these posters they just type tallulah... makes searching for mine more awkward.

I know I know, I'm being precious but it's really annoying!
