Title:
Display username on confirm screen on new accounts, to catch typos

Area:
account creation

Summary:
Display the username before creating new accounts, to catch typos in names.

Description:
http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/362229.html discusses confirming usernames before creating accounts, to reduce the number of people who typo their username and then have to open a Support request to get it fixed.

On the wiki, someone suggests implementing by displaying the username and email address before creating (i.e. adding it to one of the existing screens) rather than asking for confirmation of account name in a separate step, which sounds like a good solution to catch typos without annoying users who checked their typing in the first place.
