It may be just a drop of water in the ocean, but it would cut a lot possible names from bots, the rest would reduced little by little with each ban.
This would do absolutely nothing to cut down on the number of bots. It's trivially easy to make an IGN generator that follows whatever the rules are. And on the other hand you'll be blocking some of the more "creative" legit names, as you said.
