 * Hello,
 * I like the idea of this plugin… very neat.
 * In fact I am considering recommending it in my WordPress Security Checklist (
   [http://www.wpsecuritychecklist.com](http://www.wpsecuritychecklist.com)).
 * However I was wondering what happens if two users have the same display name –
   or rather the same sanitized display name?
 * Usernames I believe have enforced uniqueness…
 * Thanks,
 * Anders

 * From my own testing, I can confirm this works much like creating posts with identical
   titles. A number is automatically appended to the slug.
