Do you "own" your username?

[malestrithe]

Pretty much all you get from Malestrithe is me. You even get my real name.

 

[Takoto]

Google Takoto and all you get is me.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

I'm the first thing that comes up. Go try it.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

All I see when I search for me are myself, people suggesting that I should be a class in some sort of Pen-n-Paper RPG, and a series of comic books titled "Lady Death" featuring Eldritches as a sort of evil magical race (demons basically) and the titular character is a child of a human and an Eldritch warlord.

Of course, that last one is ridiculous as eldritch is an adjective not a noun. Everyone knew that right? . . . right?

 

[Fanboy]

Yep, I completely own it. I just googled and everything that came up was me.

 

[joystickjunki3]

The only time w/i the first 5 pages that the page did come up as something not directly referencing me, was this.

If you look, though, I'm on that page anyway. It's xitel's friend list for Evening Prophet, and I'm one of his friends.

So the first 50 results (that's as far as I looked) are all me. I think I've successfully "owned" my name. 'Cept for on AIM; some douchebag already had it, so I'm "MDXaddict."

[edit] In case anyone's wondering, the "MDX" in my SN is in reference to my favorite soft drink of all-time: Mountain Dew's MDX. I loved that shit.

 

[seious]

I just goggled my username and not surprisingly I own all the profiles there so I have never seen my name used else where.

 

[Irridium]

Well, googleing "Iridium" brings up a bunch of science stuff, but thats the element and I purposly misspelled it.

On the first page, Googleing "Irridium" gets me a Jazz club, some company, something about a dinosaur house, a couple things about satallites, and my Escapist and PSN accounts.

Also, I got a definition: "A metal and member of the platinum family, it is often alloyed with platinum to improve workability, thus you will find pieces marked something like "90% Plat. 10% Irrid" to indicate that the alloy is 90 % platinum and 10% irridium."

huh, interesting.

I don't own it completely, but my PSN and Escapist accounts were on page one, so I guess I kind of own it.

 

[AlexanderAstartes]

I'm the only AlexAstartes when you google me. It gets all my various accounts; Twitter, Spore etc.

 

[Jamface]

I`m pretty sure its all me. I hope so anyway because i'd fear the mental health of whoever else thought of my (quite) retarded name

 

[Bobic]

Apparently i took it from a german footballer from the 90's. I did not see that one coming.

[Fraught]

I have go through multiple pages to find...let's see, my konsool.eu (console.eu translated) user, Kongregate.

Mostly just dictionary, dictionary, dictionary. Hmm? What's this?! Oh, wait, just another dictionary.
"What's the connotation of fraught?" on Google Questions. Fraught productions.

Oh, and a lot of news articles that have the word in them.

I still like my name though.

 

[Jamienra]

<< never been stolen

 

[Anarien]

I made this username up in the late 90s for a story I was writing, but didn't start using it until about 2002. At some point, someone started writing LOTR fanfiction under it, and now some of the Anariens are me and some are not. I use several usernames though, depending on the site and what purpose I'm there for.

 

[LSKSK]

Unless someone happens to be called Luke Stephen Knowles and lives in somewhere called South Kirkby then this username is mine to own XD

 

[nativebelle]

No, I tend to use different usernames. Some other girl has this one but I pretty much own the others.

 

[Deleted]

All the forum results is by me, since my username is my real name.

 

[Ganthrinor]

Mostly me. There's a MySpace poser and some guy on WarCry too. Otherwise, almost all me.


Edit - and holy shit, some site has my old, old, old OLD FFXI Dragoon (Ganthrinor) archived still. o.0

 

[Femaref]

Yes, indeed, I do. And I'm proud of it.

 

[Spudgun Man]

Top of the pile. (smugness radiates)
