This argument trivially correct if you buy the assumption that
attempts to choose a non-unique name fail. In actuality, attempts to
change one's name to something non-unique are ineffective, but the
rule stating that we select names upon registering does not require
said names to be unique. The only relevant requirement affecting
players joining the game is that per rule 2 they must have unique
names, not that they must not also have non-unique ones.

The onus is clearly on you to have a unique name. You can do that any
time you like.
