Do you "own" your username?

Yes. Even "Hellbird" or "Hell Bird" seem quite rare and obscure, but with the "IV" at the end I'm pretty 100% unique.
My original username was often taken in some form so I would always have to add numbers to it. I eventually got tired of that so I picked this one and I think I'm the only person who uses it.
I share my username with a bunch of health foods sites, and a youtube channel named orangeapple who joined 2 days before I did...
you mostly get me if u search willsham yay. If you ever see a willsham45 with i have been taken, the username needs a number in it or i have already registered a long time ago and then regrgistered forgetting i have been on the website or forgetting my password finding it easyer to reregister.
Yep, every search engine leads right back to me. Though I am a little worried that I don't remember over half of those sites....
When googling evilomega13, the first result not related to me was something on page 3...although that might have been me, I dunno. So I would say I do own this one (It's never been unavailable before)
I made my name quite obscure so I could, indeed, "own" it. However, I hold no delusion that there's anything stopping anyone else on the internet from taking the same name. Joke's on them for taking such a wacky sounding name, I suppose.
Leads to my awesomeness on the first two hits.

You find me, well you might find one guy on myspace, it's not his username either, just his url, he's some guy in college who uses thenumber1zero as his username.
But otherwise you find me.

well i usually go by Drunken Matey. sometimes just Matey.
googling matey certainly gets a ton of results... but none are about a single person using the name. as for drunken matey... first result is my steam page. after thats its all random stuff... nothing about any other single persons. so im happy with that.
ive only once ever had trouble getting my name in a game or on a registration. one time when i played lineage II on a private server... some russian guy jacked my name on one server 1. (which was mostly ok since i played server2)

When I Googled my user name, I saw a lot of "Geekmaster" but the ONLY ones with "Geekmaster K" were things I had signed up for. Ownage!
According to Google I am officially the maddest of all the March Hares. There are a couple of pictures from dA of a mad March Hare, but I'm a whole level of insanity above that. There's also a Facebook profile of a March Hare, who was friends with Alice Wunder and M. Hatter, these people are ingenious.
But yes, as far as Google is concerned, I am the most unhinged rabbit on the interwebz.
