The usernames are still unique, but the slugs used for URLs (and on other places where uniqueness is a must) are unique.
But yeah, most people consider usernames unique. If your usernames aren't unique you might want to call them something else, like display name as Robert said. You also could assign every user an id. If you save the data as entities in the datastore (which you probably do) without any explicitly defined Key, then you could fetch the entity id and use that one. That id will definitely be unique.
