I need to register 1000+ usernames at once. How to do it?
Or is there any way to disallow from registering 1000+ usernames? People could not register certain usernames.
I need to reserve these usernames for payed registration.

For example I have a list like this: username1, username2, userhame3 ... username1000. – ttt Oct 10 '16 at 12:38
You can do this by code, alter the registration form (hook_form_user_register_form_alter), in a custom module like:
function MY_MODULE_form_user_register_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
$form['validate'][] = 'reserved_usernames';
}
And then implement the validation (in the same MY_MODULE.module file) method like:
function reserved_usernames ($form, &$form_state) {
$reserved = array();
$reserved[] = 'reserved_name';
$reserved[] = 'reserved_name_1';
$reserved[] = 'reserved_name_2';
$reserved[] = 'reserved_name_3';
$reserved[] = 'reserved_name_4';
$reserved[] = 'reserved_name_5';
if (in_array($form_state['values']['name'], $reserved)) {
form_set_error('name', t('The name %name cannot be taken.', array('%name' => $form_state['values']['name'])));
}
}

You mean I need to make a special module? rémy, I do not understand how and where to add my list of usernames which I need to reserve. – ttt Oct 10 '16 at 11:03

yes - you need to make a custom module, or this code could also be placed in your theme, but I would not suggest that. I updated the question to show you the use with an array. – rémy Oct 10 '16 at 11:24

But I do not understand how and where to add restricted usernames. A list of disallowed usernames. 1000 or 2000 usernames. – ttt Oct 10 '16 at 12:17

the array $reserved contains the restricted names. this also could be loaded form DB of where ever ... – rémy Oct 10 '16 at 12:28

But there is only single username in your sample. I talk about bulk registration or reservation. – ttt Oct 10 '16 at 12:33
