This guy trying to register was going for the username, "Timm". Someone else also had an issue and their username as was "asfii". I'm thinking the dual letters is somehow throwing a trigger on the Username check?

I still get a LOT of spam registerations - probably 10 per day - luckily all with links under post count of 5 get auto moderated so I have a chance to review, but it's still a pain in the ass and didn't exist before.

What are other options to prevent false registrations?

Enable email and IP check and disable username check and that will stop the majority of your problem.
