It's impossible.  The latest one was "Jesus Chirst" rather than "Jesus 
Christ".  How many permutations can you cover?  When such a name has 
been attempted, it should be kept in the user name file, but made 
inaccesible for use.  Then if someone else tries to use the name he will 
receive a "Name already taken" message.
