Detect inappropriate usernames at registration

Is there any way to automatically detect when a username doesn’t fit appropriate guidelines?

I have 3 simples rules: No numbers, must be pronounceable, and hopefully it’s your real name.

I’ve been able to discourage inappropriate / inaccurate email addresses by enforcing a character minimum of 10 and I just added a API to verify emails. Not sure if there’s something similar for names.

You could maybe find something on Algorithmia ?
