Users with the same nickname on twitter and GitHub have a hard time signing up using GitHub when they had an account using twitter already.

for sake of situation description I'll use the nickname "example"

User signed up years ago using Twitter with his nickname "example"
Twitter "crashed" our auth integration
User is unable to authenticate and thereby accessing his old account.
User tries to setup a new account using Github, where he/she uses the same nickname "example"
User can't create a new account, cause on_ruby complaints about already taken nickname.

Possible solution: Allow the user to change/alter his nickname while signup.
