Do you "own" your username?

I googled mine a while ago and found out that a freelance butler is an actual profession. I think there was an advert in Dutch or something...
But I don't think anyone else uses it for a username. I can't be bothered to check past page 5 of results to find out.

Mine's nearly 100% me, with the exception of just one (maybe 2) link.

I think it's because it's a (rather) long story about myself wanting to give a custom name to all my characters in WoW. I think it was the single largest stroke of genius that I've ever had in my entire life. Learning to talk for the first time was nothing compared to this.

Of course not this one, but my main username is completely unique. Every single google reference is to me on other sites, but mostly this one.

I am 100% unique in that name.

no I'm not going to tell you

I've got about 15 pages of Google with maybe one or two entries that -aren't- me. I guess, yay me? :3 Though really, I suppose anyone can get that and more just by being consistent with the use of their user name over several sites.

As the rule goes:

A username for you the person, to tie your real life to the net.

A username for you the stranger, to say the things you really think and feel.

A username for you the pervert, to register on sites you'd hope your mother doesn't catch you dead on, or spouse if such is the case.

A fourth username there is too, used mainly by trolls and other miscreants, and, rarely by those looking to make clean a slate.
Tried and true. Yup. Guess which me this is? Dare you. :3

yes, it even haves pages with my name on them Vinicio Vázquez Mar

i should probably clear out that my name is short for Hentai Master

also that i earned it

and it has evolved, when i was 15 i was "Hentai Kid" and grew up to "Master" over the years

perhaps i will be "Hentai Sage" in a couple more haha

Mine's like 9 pages, and almost every single one is the real me. (2 links refer to Beaujon hospital in Paris and the 85 meter distance between it and another building)
Over 60 links are profiles on warcry.com, which I never registered to, thanks Escapist!

There are a whole lotta spitfires out there, I'm not very unique here. But I've used the nickname for 15 years now.

I have had the misfortune of not only being beaten onto Xbox Live by some scallywag but I have to suffer the indignity of knowing that it is also in use by a writer of terrible fan-fiction, almost exclusively male homosexual and fur. I don't even mind that it's gay/fur, but that it's fan-fic (the lowest form of creative endeavour on the interwebs, beating twitter by a gnat's whisker) and it's truly awful. Check him out, he's dire.

I like to imagine both crimes against the title being committed by the same individual, it probably is. The great annoyance in all this is that it (my username) doesn't mean anything in any language, it's personally derived, so technically I should have been the only one. However, I'm much happier with the Xbox Live random suggestion name I chose...Really...

It's one helluva lot of historic King Arthur stuff (Sir Tor was a knight of the round table) but I seem to be the only player with that name. Hell I even found my Steam avatar on images on the first page of pictures to! (It's the Gman!) ^^

My name is an adjective...so, no, not so much. :(

I try and claim it on everything I sign up for but am usually beaten to it and have to take a lame variant. (General Actual being my XBOX LIVE ID, the fact that it's a kinda oxymoron appealed to me) I was quite lucky to get it unadulterated here.
