You could be visiting or browsing through a particular forum, and you see a username that you use elsewhere. What is the first thought that runs through your head?

Well it's not exactly the same thing, but... Before I was a Sims 2 modder I was a ReBoot music video maker. At that time there was a gentleman named Cyjon who starred in videos that appealed to a certain segment of the population. So if you googled "cyjon videos" (not that I'd ever do such an egocentric thing) you got pages and pages of gay porn before my stuff showed up.

On my site I have dozens more Sims 2 mods. These mods come with no support so use them at your own risk.

There was one time an anonymous poster was called "Anonymous". For a moment, I thought he or she took my name!

I'm a lazy fuck. Once I get a username that works for me I stick with it. I had been using "pare321" for about seven years. I used to go to my friend's house and play on nick.com. She used "pare123", so you can guess where mine came from. I never really liked having the numbers in my name, but "pare" is too short wherever you go, and it just sounds dumb on it's own. Eventually I switched to "Paksetti" a corruption of "Pasketti" which is a corruption of "spaghetti", which sounds really dumb when you explain it like that.

--
So, yes, long story short, I stole "pare321", and I used to occasionally use "pare123". I've seen the name used other places too, so I suppose she's either stolen it back or is still using it. It's really not all that creative, so it might not even be her.

"pasketti" is fucking everywhere. chances are, if you see a "pasketti" it's almost certainly not me.

Yes.. I've used lazzybum for as long as I can remember, and for many things, and there seems to be a men's underwear company's facebook using that name >_>

Not that I know of, I only use this on two different sites - here and a private forum - so it's doubtful. Grishilde - my other username - is probably in use somewhere though.

On YouTube I used to have a username called SimmyTime2011 (see how similar it is to the one I have here?) but I changed my name on YouTube to PickleSack12.

For years and years I used the same two usernames and didn't encounter either one on other sites too often but I did find that I was annoyed when it did. I went to open a Youtube account some years ago and somebody had "my" name and her channel was totally trashy and stupid, lol. I started using one of the names back in the late 90s and the second one since maybe 2006/7 so I guess if somebody was really looking it wouldn't be hard to dig up internet history on me and sometimes I just want to be totally anonymous, lol.

I'm sure there's a lot of ElleDees around, stands for my initials "L.D."

I suck at picking names inside a game (name your charachter) , and when it come to website it's worse . So I usually just pick names that I find appealing in games (and have a story behind them ) . And mix them together .
Yet , I also have many......so fast chance of someone stealing mixed names from many games . (I hope anyway...lol) .

Bodhi = is the name of an evil charachter from BG2 , she is the sister of the big boss and herself a mini-boss .

On GW I mixed two names for one of my charachter lol which were Shaar Suna . I wrote the name of the Godess Shar wrong . As Shaar , and I like it better actually . And Suna is actually Sune and she is a deitie from the forgotten realms .Sune godess of passion and beauty . Shar is also another godess from the same setting .

With Mouse being so common, it's almost impossible to get that alone on any website. Same with Spitfire so I usually combine them or some version of them. Funny thing is is they are actual nicknames I've been given over the years and perfectly represent my personality. I'm usually rather quiet, like a mouse, but I have a rather quick temper which in my younger days was notorious (not always for the good) at a couple of work places.

The Mouse though came more from the years I spent going to WDW as a kid/teen, my absolute love of Mickey Mouse, and working for Disney for almost 8 years, not my quietness. It got tacked on to my first name and stuck. I've been Mouse ever since.

No, I don't think so. If I did find someone else using the same username as me I would be upset.

Heh. The username I use on this site is probably taken on the majority of large sites. The times I've tried to use this one on other sites, I've only ever been able to on new and/or small sites. This isn't my typical username, though, as I didn't really have a typical username until some time after I made my account on this site.

My username sounds, if you say it out loud, like how you pronounce part of my actual name (it's not spelt that way) and I have used it for a long time, since the days of usenet. I've found out it's the sort of thing other people like too. I sometimes try to register on sites only to find that the name isn't available. Then I have to spend some time thinking about whether I've registered there before and forgotten (a common experience of getting old) or whether one of the other members of the world-wide secret society of maxons on the internet have got there before me. The gits.

Polgannon Project Seriously, I'm still working on it.

Yes. A long time ago, I used the username "Spazattack14" as my username. Once, out of curiosity, I googled it. I found a guy with the exact same name on youtube. I was creeped out, insanely. I had never heard of this guy before, so I wasn't copying. All I can guess is that great minds think alike, lol JK. minimogut is basically the username I use the most, but I was also kittycat13 and wolfgirl14 a couple years ago, not to mention alexandriaspride, which is the nickname I now use on many websites.

There are several Mistermooks that are not me online. I have a secret username that no one else is, and my real name (shared by a death row convict with entirely too much internet presence thanks to his bad poetry) and a couple of real name-ish aliases I use when I wish to appear like a real person (but am, in fact, not.) I try to not let my aliases mix in any shape or fashion.

Man, "fraroc" sounds cool. If I were to make my name the way you thought yours up, it would be "samzim", and that's just terrible.

Mine would be Mirand, in that case. Or Andlau. Or Lauand? I have 3 names. "-.-

My username is probably on some Minecraft forum or something, though that's not where I got it. I actually got it from the movie Jeepers Creepers. And if I saw it somewhere I'd go all "I'm famous. O.O" because I'm a megalomaniac etc.
