That's what all other chats do currently.

Yeah, we thought about doing somthing like this in O/A, but the
difficulty is in that the server needs to reject if there's a conflict,
and perhaps suggest an alternate nickname.

Then we thought about some session precondition for nicknames, but that
made our heads explode Dean-style. The next day we defined the NICKNAME
method.

In practice, this is done while joining. But you also need to be able to
change your nickname while in the chat already.

Cheers,
