 Description   

My friend wanted to join my world and when he tapped it it loaded and then said "Not a valid name" Then when he changed his name to something else i.e "Banana_Pinappleluv" It let him join.

Recreation of bug:
1: Load up a World
2:Get your friend to try and join
3: Sometimes you will get "Not a valid name"
4: Change your names in settings
5: It let's you join

This is super weird....

EE is not a valid username. It is to short

Well we only tried his original name (EE).

Can you please give an example of what names did not function as expected? Keep in mind that only letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and underscores (_) are permitted in the username bar.
