I remember my mom was gonna create an account on Ebay, but they said he username she chose was already taken.
Wtf? huh.gif
Her username was what i called her at home. Now, not sure, but i doubt it means something in another language.
Has this ever happened to you before? Where you're about to create a new email address or whatever and they say it was already taken?
I hate when that happens pinch.gif
But then it makes you wonder "Who would pick such a name?"

I used to go by pretty generic online aliases ('Angel', 'Queenie' etc) which were always taken - but the only time 'S. Majere' has ever been taken was on AIM. I was minorly miffed.

My old favorite username, WooyaPooya, has never been taken because I'm weird and totally made it up. I'd be dead surprised if it ever were taken already.

When I first tried to make my current screen name, Ai no Tsubasa ("wings of love" in Japanese) was already taken, so I had to change it to something else. But I still like it anyway.

I hate that, too. My boyfriend can use his first and last name with no problems as usernames, but my name (first and last) are both so generic, I can never use it.

I also think AOL should erase all of their inactive screennames. It's ridiculous how much are taken.

Yea I hate that too. Most times when I use my name though , things are available as long as I use my last name too.

I hate that. I was trying to sign up for something and I wanted the username Super Duke, but it was taken so I had to spell it Super Dook. My brother just kept calling it Super Dookie so I was a little p/o.

I'm always annoyed with the fact that I constantly have to add a '1' to the end of my desired screenname when signing up for whatever site or service: BrandonSaunders

When I first signed up for Newgrounds (which isn't exactly a PG-13 site lol), I tried to sign up with the username "Ghetto-Penguin" because it was part of my Yahoo account. It was taken. So I ended up signing up with "Inhalemyfart" because it was my MySpace url at the time. 3 deletes since then lol.

That's why I make 83249384739874 possible usernames on anything that has accounts so nobody else can have them.

I hate when this happens! I always think of something super amazing, and then I found it was taken. And I hate compromising with things, so I just wait 'till I can think of something equally as amazing, which could take weeks.

I've had "gigiopolis" for just about everything since I first started using the internet, and I've had no problems with it. Nobody comes up with something like that.
