check out the following link for the solution:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/email-login-randomized-user-urls-solution

When a user goes to register, they get to type in an email and a password.

Their ‘username’ field is hidden.

The code will randomly generate a URL for the person like below:

mem12345abcdefghijklmnopqrst

so their URL would be

http://www.yoursite.com/members/mem12345abcdefghijklmnopqrst

Freeing up the good names like John and Smith to be created manually by an administrator.
