Lou, I tried the custom PHP function and it worked!

But... I have two new questions:
1- In the user registration form there are 2 different fields that I don't understand: username and nickname. What is the difference between them?

2- When I enter a username that already exists, it doesn't send the form and it doesn't notify that the username already exists. Is there any way to validate it?

Hello,

Q1) WordPress user name is unique value, you can not change it by default, and you can use it to login into your website, but nickname is only an user field, it can only works for displaying in frontend.

See below article for more details :
hidden link

Q2) I have tried it in a fresh WP installation, I can see the error message correctly:
Sorry, that username already exists!

See below test site:
Login URL: hidden link
User form in frontend:
hidden link
After use username value "demo", fill and submit the form, you will see above error message
