Do you "own" your username?

[Kenshuku]

My name is "Mine". If you search it on google, you get suggestions, but I got my username before all of those.

 

[Acaroid]

And for those of you who're buried in obscurity, do you wish you'd been as smart as Randall Munroe and picked something as unique as "xkcd" when you made up your name at age 12?

XKCD = 42 = the meaning of life

Wow. I just added it up. That wily bastard, he said it was a random string of characters. But really, should I be surprised that Mr. Alt-Text hid a goodie/nerd reference?

Yeap.....well other than dictionarys and that one twitter page which is obviosuly been taken over by a bot or something.
also if you put my real full name in, all hits are 100% mine. Also the same with my other alias

Well then, that's just a reminder to name your kid something unique and searchable. As a testament to my unhealthy symbiosis with technology, I've actually given this some thought. Wouldn't it give your kid a potential leg up in the world to always be the first search result for his name? Just gotta rack your brains for an unusual name/spelling that won't make elementary school suck.

Yeah, I always have wanted to give my kids unsual names, yeah it gets annoying never having my name spelt correct or pronounced right, but you learn to live with it I havent had any leg up because of my name, but who knows later on.

 

[mindclockwork]

mine is mine own. i twisted it from song of warp brothers. "mental clockwork".

 

[Unstoppable Wall]

Edit: Damn you attempted arrow that points to signature, you are a failure!

 

[The Unspool]

I am THE Unspool. It was some random alias I invented because I couldn't find anything that wasn't taken for an Xbox Live Gamertag. Anyway, it stuck, I am the only Unspool that I know of. Although, if you search it you do see other uses of Unspool (usually referring to film, when the film is played off the film-spool it is being unspooled).

 

[Shapsters]

Searching Shapsters results in my posts from here, and other various websites, this is because Shapsters is my online name for almost every website.

 

[Volstag9]

i use a few but "Volstag" is only used by me. And if you spell it with 2 G's its the name of a comic book character. Who knew?

 

[Not So Tuesday]

No, but that is simply because my name is compromised of three very common words, two of which are commonly found next to each other (Not So).

 

[justhereforthemoney]

As mostly everyone else has said, yes i do. Although one is a pdf of a guy who wrote a song with my username. His song came first.

 

[Antlion]

Not at all. i went through the first two pages and it was mostly informational stuff on the actual insect.
And then HL2.
And somewhere around page 28 you see somone with the name "Antlion" as his bungie profile.

If you google "Antlion167" which is my alternate for when just "Antlion" is taken, you get a whole 52 pages of me and me alone!

 

[Xanian]

It's mostly a mix of weird internet companies and role-players using the name.

I occupy the first three spots though.

My username: Est. 1997, and I refuse to use number...EVER!

 

[hazabaza1]

Pretty much. Some dick occasionally steals my name...

...but they are never seen again.

 

[Klagermeister]

Go ahead. You can google my name and only MY profiles come up. Really, try it!
Actually, Let me do it for you.

 

[LogicNProportion]

On DeviantArt, my name, Forever-Fantasy pops up.

It often does when I enter my real name, as well.

 

[Symplify]

Number 7 on the list for my name. It's actually kind of disappointing how many companies and things have the name.

 

[Corven]

Strangely enough no, this name has been taken by other before which I always found kinda weird, its a pretty crappy username but I can't think of a better one, so I'm stuck with it.

 

[Berethond]

I own everything on Google relating to my name except one LotR fan fiction.

EDIT: I'm also apparently a minor character in the History of the Forgotten Realms...

Berethond Halfelven, disappears during combat with a great green wyrm in the forest west of Dragonspear Castle. He is assumed dead, and the Draconomicon, which he was carrying, is believed lost.
At least I went out well.

 

[Rawker]

I'm the first thing on the second page for google, apparently there is some guy in tennessee who feels that him singing karioke makes him a one man band.
