You might want to consider limiting usernames to 8 characters.  That way if
you list directory contents from the shell using "ls" there's no confusion
about who owns the files since "ls" only shows the first 8 characters of an
owner's name.  I generally use the following scheme for naming users:

d0030002 (char 1 = server identifier, char 2-4 = site number, char 5-8 =
user number)

It also makes it pretty difficult for someone to guess someone's username.

are not available for use as regular users.

My 2 cents,
