How original is your username and have you ever run across someone else who is using it?

It's not original, but unique.

It's just a blend of banDAIds and age of emPIREs, two things on my desk at the time.

My other name is Wait, but that's because it's lucky...

The answer to the question is simple.

Have you ever seen another Wisdom Thumbs? I haven't either.

It's so original, in fact, I make an account on every site I can find just so nobody can take the name from me and try it out on Youtube or something. Hah!

I'm lucky. A long time ago, I decided on a username that I wouldn't regret as time wore on. And I think I'm the only Citrus Insanity out there.

I thought mine was original, and I added the numbers just in case so I could have a consistent screen name no matter were I went. But I found a youtubw series about some dumb kids that was called: CRap crap something or other Dingo-Man

I had this screen name since I was about 10, Im 16 now. now I look like some sort of fanboy for their POS show :(

I wouldn't say mine is "original" because I didn't have to think about it. I just know it's unlikely someone that also has my last name is using it as a username.

Mine isn't original -- it's a Marvel Comics character from the 1960's. I've yet to run into anyone with the same name, though I'm sure I'm not the only one. A stilt enthusiast forum, for example, would likely have a number of variations of my username.

My original username, on the other hand, was 100% original. If you Googled it, every last result was either me, or someone pretending to be me... the latter of which is why I've changed it.

Not many people I can think of that use the name 'Vrex' and even less so who would call themselves 'Vrex360'.

Plus a friend joined the Escapist and sent me a friend request claiming that he knew the second he saw my username and avatar that it was me so I think it's at least a little bit original.

My name was a very personal creation based off of combineing two things I loved at the time (In middle school): Ace Azzamean from Starwars: X-Wing Alliance on PC, and Sephiroth from FF7. I actually thought Sephiroth's name was cooler than liking the actual character in particular...

Anyway, I've only had it taken every once in awhile but rarely on an MMO server, and never met anyone that actually used it. In fact, Google thinks I mean Mazzaroth, which is apparently a Hindu or Muslim god or character or something, idk.

And I hate it when people think it's based off Azeroth from WoW. I made it before I even knew what Warcraft 3 was. D:

My username is completely original. I have occasionally come across people who use "Arcane" in their username, but most of them treat it as an adjective while I use it as an actual name. "Azmadi" is apparently an actual middle-eastern name (I wasn't aware of that until I googled it on a whim recently) although I took it from a dragon from the CCG 'Magic: the Gathering'. No-one else has ever used my exact name other than me.

Mine has numbers in it yes, but originally it was just Sleetblind, that was my Hellgate: London name and was a joke concerning Project: Snowblind which I was playing at the time. From there it gradually evolved to all caps, then to SL33TBL1ND. In essence, meaning you are blinded by my super leetness.

This one's mine, I've yet to see anyone else with it. It also happens to be the name of one of my characters in the stories I write.

My name is based off of Merlin, so I would say it isn't that original. I have yet to see another person using this name exactly though.

Well my name is a reference to a video game and my Gamertag.
So it's not 100% original...but close.
