Routing question. how can i stop people from registering with usernames of users, statuses, register, etc.?

I obviously don't want anyone to be able to sign up with a username of users, statuses, register, login, etc. since they won't be able to have a profile since localhost3000/register will lead to my register page. What can I do to stop them?

I googled "rails devise disallow usernames"

And found this, which looks reasonable http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13003546/how-can-i-blacklist-usernames-with-devise
