	If the username was of a person involved in a controversial incident (most notably naming yourself after a murdered person or school shooter such as “[[wikipedia:Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold\|Eric Harris]]” or “[[wikipedia:George Floyd\|George Floyd]]”), it makes sense to ban the username. But if someone creates an username named “[[wikipedia:Taylor Swift\|Taylor Swift]]” or something, they could be a fan of the person without implying anything bad.
