MySQL username restrictions?

I have a new customer who created a MySQL database in his cPanel. When trying to point to a page in his script, he gets the following error:

-----------------------------------------------
\Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: '[*****]_nobody@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /home/*****/public_html/bboard.php on line 133
Unable to connect!
-------------------------------------------------

Obviously, the ***** in the error is there replacing my actual customer's account name.

So what is being rejected here? Does it not like to user created? Are you not able to create a user called "nobody" ?
