Do you "own" your username?

Yep, at least the first 30+ results on Google were me or other things referencing me.
One creepy thing was that some of the things about me I didn't even know...
There was one Google link that was not me, but curiously was also named Andrew. Perhaps I have a clone somewhere else in the world. Or else I post things in my sleep, that would be epic.

Unfortunately I cannot afford a copyright. Them be extreme.
Such is the case for me, but I once was at a place when I expected my reputation on one website to preceed Registration on another.
I imagine there are several if not many users who might think the same way here, seeing as reliably on this site, Avatars and Usernames are the new Sex or Religion Threads.
Which is a thing of pride, to an extent.Furburt said:

I completely dominated the first 3 pages with the numbers attached to end, and probably from there on out.
If the numbers are removed you get stuff relating to pancakes.

Wow, there were like over 2400 results with my name and all of them were me(I only looked at the first and last pages) from what I could see....I loves my name XD
My name is mine. At least the top 20 hits on google are me, I didn't go beyond page 2. There are only two popular places I can think of where I do not control the name, and I won't say where out of paranoia that someone will steal it from me just to be a dick. This is the internet after all.
Pretty much all the results are me, you have to get several pages down before some false positives show up.
I don't think there are that many "Connor T. Lonske" our there dew to the spelling of my first name, for most people it is Conor or Conner.
I wish I'd been as smart as Randall Munroe for a number of reasons.Qwerty0 said:
Personally, I don't think my particular variant of 'Rebellion' is going to be used alot, but the fact that I have to call my username a variant already tells you I wasn't using my creative powers very much when I made my account.
Mine is unique... Though, originally supposed to be shadowguard which is something from rave masters, the only thing on google is shit I've done on the interwebs.
Yes, it appears that I do "own" my username. What's weird is that my profile is on sites that I don't even remember registering for.
Yep, I am the master of this username. Nobody else uses it but me. ...And it better stay that way.
Yup, all mine. Except one youtube video that came up- i think it was a spanish video about The Exorcism of Emily Rose... 'Esorcismo di emily rose,possessione diabolica'...
yeah.
yeah.
Yep just me for secretshadow90 (my default username.) I've never had problems registering it and I just added the numbers for a kick. Also, bldandink, my other username is just me or people referencing things I've said (an amusing one that popped up was someone referencing a tweet where I made a FLCL reference). I made a second name because I wanted to change things up a bit.
Dusty Pancakes is in no way owned by anyone except me.
And besides, I'm also Dusty Donuts and occasionally Dusty Waffles.

There is a TV show called "FearZone" which I heard about after I first used the name. Given that, I find it somewhat impressive that Posts 4 and 5 on a Google search reference me. Destructoid is #4 and GameSpot is #5. The Escapist, which I write posts far more frequently in, does not come up until the bottom of page 2. There are no other gamers or posters of any sort on Google that seem to be using the name.
