Freohr Datia Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I typically don't have to worry about that~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgar Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes, very much so. It usually doesn't happen to me that often though. So I've just got a list of names that I usually use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helios Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Fun fact: I would have taken the username "eclipse" on here if we didn't already have a lovely mod who went by that name. SF has been the birth of "Helios" which I always use now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I usually don't have a problem with this. I can't recall a time when a username I really wanted to use was ever taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zahlman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 There's this guy in the US who keeps grabbing the name zahlman on social media sites. He has it on LinkedIn and Twitter for example :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Aeterna Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Actually, in pretty much every site I go to, "Lux" and "Lux Aeterna" are both taken, so I usually have to settle for a variant. Like "Lucky Lux." Or, if even that is taken, I say "Lucky Lux Lux." I've never had to go beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eCut Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I've only had it happen a few times (skype and youtube are the only ones I can think of right now) but yes, it is annoying. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeiji Koishi Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) That's happened several times to me and, yeah, it is annoying. Do you know HOW annoying playing Monster Hunter Tri is when every fifth person has the same name as you?

Ohnonono Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I like having generic words as usernames, but somehow for some reason they'll always end up being the first words to be used up for someone else's name. I don't really like thinking up of names no one else might have ever thought of, as simpler words are easier to remember for me. But maybe an odd combination, alliteration, and whatever as you name it; of generic words for a username can help... but I still don't like it.

Raven Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Before I was Raven, I was Shaun_K (creative, no?). I was a frequent poster on the Official Nintendo Magazine UK forum before I defected to a new forum called LivingLifeCasually with a relatively large userbase of ONMers. These guys are my oldest and original e-friends, whom I had many Pokemon battles, Mario Kart DS races and MSN group convos with. Meetups and stuff were arranged once or twice a year at theme parks around the UK, but I had no means of travelling to join them at the time. Regardless, fun times. So that's my distant e-past, before I joined this forum. Anyway, Raven is stupid common. I went and made an account on Gaia Online but Raven was taken (obviously because it's fucking Gaia Online). So keeping in the trend of FE, I added Vanguard to the front of Raven, and this is very much unique. Man zOMG! was pretty awesome back in the day. Where Raven is taken, VanguardRaven always fills in.

Esau of Isaac Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 You would be surprised how many people are named Esau or Edom. You would also be surprised how many times I've put my foot through the wall when someone has actually taken "Esau of Isaac" and they're not me. Seriously, how can there be another person on the planet interested in this character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm quite surprised I was able to get Phoenix Wright here, even if it is a Fire Emblem forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
