OK heres you an easy way of doing this ;)

Look in Themes/default/Register.template.php

Find around line #89
<input type="text" name="user" size="20" tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" maxlength="25" />

Replace with:
<input type="text" name="user" size="15" tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" maxlength="15" />

This will prevent them from entering more than 15 characters ;)

Do you let people change their display name? If so this will have no effect.
