Depending on the product, the username may not be as "personal" to a user. For instance, if I am joining a dating site where my identity matters, I do not want to become coolguy1204902910 if coolguy is taken. Suggest, but don't generate.
However, if I have followed a tour that is pushing the good ol' 8 milion hours of video and 32,000 images, I just want to get into the content area. The username is not personal, as I am just here to watch videos. Every time I have to try another username, I have another chance to think, ya know, forget about this, I'll watch TV.
What about the concept of not hindering payment, push the user to the choose-suggest-repeat cycle after he's paid? I know some of you have done / are doing this... thoughts?
