If you have any experience of scripting, you could create a page before the 
chat page which allows them to enter their username first. The following 
example is in PHP:

(on chat.php)
<form action="java.php" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="username" /> <br />
<input type="submit" value="Chat!" />
</form>

(on java.php)

... (in the middle of the applet code)
<param name="nickname" value="<?php echo $username; ?>" />
...

If your host doesn't support any type of server-side scripting, your best 
hope would be some sort of Javascript prompt.

Hope this helps
