Summary	0005424: user_is_name_unique(): "Real Name" and "Real Name" (first name has one space, second name two)
Description	White space is allowed in real names. It is prudent to canonicalize the white space, otherwise it is easy to impersonate another user by adding some white space variation.
Tags	No tags attached.
