First of all, thanks for the attention.
More details:

max size allowed is 30
min size allowed is 5

the follwoing chars are allowed :
- _ . (Slash, undescore, perdiod)

these chars are not allowed as start neither as ending char

any alphabetic char, english chars only
case insensitive
no numbers

eg
.username ->invalid
user-name -> valid
_username -> invalid
user.name -> valid
user_name ->valid

basically I want allow the same pattern allowed for emails but before
