The text 'ERROR: Invalid Username' is the text for _US_INVALIDNICKNAME, which is used in 3 places in the core

1 - kernel/user.php, line 826
2 - kernel/user.php, line 835
3 - edituser.php, line 96

In #1, the uname field is checked against the stopspammer list
In #2, the login_name is tested to see if it is empty, or if the config setting for username filtering is met by login_name
In #3, uname is checked to be sure it isn't blank
