Why can't people come up with original names anymore? I made my most frequent username DocAnubis about 3 and a half years ago, and I thought it was pretty original. Recently I've seen many people use the name and some have actually TM'ed it, those jerks. I googled DocAnubis and 109 results came up, 1 of which was me, even some Emails are copies of mine, I might email them and ask where they came up with the name.

If people can't come up with original or meaningful names just put newbie until you do come up with something better.

that is the only case of that I've heared of.

do you mean usernames?

I'm kind of confused.

Email names, forum names, video game accounts, etc. One guy runs a site that apparently makes up magic spells and feels the right to type this on it "©Docanubis 2006, All rights reserved" which proves my name is older .

oh. that's retarded. why would people steal a name.

I'm gonna go google schmanman.

edit: nope, no name stealer's, although it comes up with all the forums I'm a member of, except killa's, and this one other one.
there is a doctor with a name that is a slight variation of my username, though.

Mine are Scope (which is actualy pretty rare... except for like sniper and gaming forums) and Paintballplayax2 which i have never had a problem with

2 or 3 years ago I invented XtremeSauce, no one seems to have name-burgled me yet.

A-98 is mine, i always use it, and ive never come across it yet

A google of fnord produces 776,000 results. There is another user named fnord on spud, but they're inactive.

Screw what other people have as their username.

I can make a reasonable guess without having to google it that Hotwired is being used by other people as a username.

Anything quick and simple is very likely to be thought of by more than one person.

The whole point is to have something to identify you and you lose that if you intentionally go and take one someone else is using in the same area you are active in.

i always use Zeig on games, arcade, ect. i havn't seen it much and i learned just recently that it means the people or all in german. but i like it and if i had to hve a second name that would most likely be it.

i dont think anyone would steal my gay name....i didnt want this name i was gonna be mr. potato pimp....i should have...i eveen found a freeking icon for it check it out!!!!!!!!

ive never seen my name used anywhere else, or the name i use on most video games wich is cire nosdivad, never seen anyone use either of mine, noone never can seem to figure out what cire nosdivad is, even people who know me, wich is kind of bad

MrCrowley is used everywhere! I didnt steal it i just thought it would be a good name, but ive seen it in alot of forums. Shifty was my old one which was even more popular lol.

I believe that my username is entirely unique - a google search gives 5,600 results, which as far as I could be arsed to check was me.

Putting in a space gives 42 results, most of which are people and their family trees, but a handful of which are me.

Deko - it took me 3 seconds to work it out. Have you just written your name backwards?

MrCrowley give 52,800 results...
