Usernames still store even after a failed Captcha

I've noticed that even when bots fail the Captcha it still stores the attempted username in my database. Does anyone know a way to change this so that the names only store if they pass the Captcha?

Your observation is incorrect. If you fail the registration captcha, the account doesn't get created. Bots however keep trying until they pass the captcha: since most captchas are broken (including ReCAPTCHA) eventually they succeed.
