Require Usernames to start with a number/letter?

Is it possible to add in a restriction to only allow usernames to start with a number/letter?

I swear, if I get one more [==d00D==] registered at my forum, I'm going to start lighting bunnies on fire.

LOL

I hate usernames with characters besides letters and numbers
so disable/disallow ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) __ + = -- ` [ ] \ ; ' , . / { } | : " < > ? in username
