'[.a-z].*' is probably too permissive, or the error message is wrong. Do you 
mean "User name must start with lower case or a period"?

(Does Google really forbid upper case?)

The message "lower case only and periods only" is confusing; it sounds like 
that's the rule for the entire name. Is that right? 

"User name can't contain hyphens": double quotes make the apostrophe
