When someone signs up for my website they must sign up with a unique user name. My current pseudocode for this is:

if(datastore.nameIsAvailable(name)){
    datastore.createUser(name);
}

How do I make sure that in between the time when nameIsAvailable returns true, and the createUser is finished, another instance of my app doesn't create a user with the same name?
