Consider trying this beta version of the Limit Login Attempts plugin– it should be more or less finished. Please post any problems (or successes).

The major focus of this new version is to protect the user login names of privileged users from discovery. Which, it turns out, is a lot of work to do correctly.

It includes optional restrictions on password reset attempts and new user registrations. The plugin also helps you see and modify the various names Wordpress keep for each user. By default Wordpress uses the user login name to construct author archive URLs, nickname, displayname and so on.

It also allows you to change the URL name of users. I actually find it rather strange that there is no way to change it in stock WordPress.

Remaining on the todo list: Translations, the readme.txt, some documentation, and some further testing.

Screenshots of new settings: 2.8.4, 2.5

The major focus of this new version is to hide the username of privileged users. Which, it turns out, is a lot of work to do correctly.

It includes optional restrictions on password reset attempts and new user registrations. It also lists any privileged users whose username as the various names displayed on the blog. Which by default is all of them as Wordpress default uses the username to construct author archive URLs, among other things.

Largest missing piece is functionality to modify username (which might possibly be dangerous to do) and “nicename” (which might invalidate previous author archive URLs).
