    There is no way to allow that under WordPress currently. Why do you need that? If you let us know, we may be able to point you to a good solution regardless.

    Thanks for the reply. actually I already have many usernames with spaces, so I want new usernames with spaces as well to make it look consistent. not sure if I can do this.

    How did you get the earlier usernames with spaces in WordPress?

    As far as I know, You can’t have spaces in a Username… I think you can have a ‘dot’ but I’ve never needed that so can’t swear to that either.

    Under profile you can set the first and last name and a nickname for the user. I imagine the user themselves should have that ability also during signup and at anytime they might need to edit things. On a multi-site the user is a member of the Network so any changes to the user profile is true for that user in all sites.

    I meant to add that those usernames, first, last, and nicknames can all be used to create the display name.
