How many others share your username? As theenglishman, I have quite a few - not counting all the times I signed on to separate forums. As qubit, it's hard to judge. As my YouTube profile name (pwnedTAS), I have none :(.

Uhm, my IRC name might be found here and there, but that's about it. As for the forum, I think it's pretty unique. But of course, people are trying to persuade me to get rid of my forum name to prevent confusion -_- w/e.

Nobody ever takes kwinse. In fact, a google search only found one english page that had it, and that was a list of creative spellings for names based on pronunciation, much in the way I created mine.

Through the first 3 pages of google hits, I'm the only one, most of which come from this site. I have always included the double m's to make it unique.

Comicalflop makes no sense, and hence is very unique. But on Facebook I found someone with the EXACT same name as me in New York. I had in the past googled my name, and thought that I was the only Joshua Nyer in existence (since Nyer is not a common last name- mostly Polish/few other Euro country descent, and the family tree doesn't extend that far) but apparently not.

I googled my nick and found out that there is another jaysmad though he is probably just mad. My nick is composed of two names, mine and my gf, Jason and Madeleine.

There is not only another Boco in the world but another Boco who uses the number 47 to differentiate. It's kind of weird that we've clashed over the name Boco before so we fall back to boco47, in such a way that sometimes he's Boco and I'm boco47 and sometimes I'm Boco and he's boco47.
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster. I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.

Just about every search result for 'lagdotcom' on google is me. There seems to be some american gamer who uses it too, though. Which does make more sense; I should have chosen lagdotcodotuk or something in the beginning :)

It is quite impossible for there to be other Dromiceiuses, as correctly spelling "Dromiceius" is categorically impossible. Of ~11,000 results when googling "Dromiceius" I think I account for a little under 800 of them. The rest are those stupid lists of words, sites selling emu oil, and a bunch of zoologically-inclined scientific websites. But no other weird internet forum guys. There's someone else whose name shortens to "Drom" but that's as close as it gets. My real name is dirt common. In a population of 1 million, there are probably at least six of us. (I'm the original- the rest are my clones.)

Inzult is apparantly Croation for insular, so a lot of .hr sites popped up when I googled. It appears that someone from the Faroe Islands uses it as his name on some youtube-esque sites.

I'm the only Bisqwit, and I like it to stay that way. There's a Bisquit though, and probably a dozen other variants.

Pretty much all the search results for moozooh that aren't on the last page are about me. It also seems to be a word in some language I don't know much about, but it's almost never romanized, and thus doesn't interfere with search results much.

My name is actually the name of a metallica song, how original of me ;) I think I saw another user on this board with the name master of puppets, so I guess I am not the only one using a metallica song title for a name. Any search results from my name will lead to either lyrics or music videos for the song. By the 5th page on the Google results, I finally saw my monopoly submissions. A search for my name on google video will show my Chrono Trigger run on the first page. I am pretty sure I am the only person who is using this 'phrase' as an actual online handle, which is surprising.
They're off to find the hero of the day...

Upon closer investigation, there are "qubit"s (which are not me) at Zimbra, Gearbox Forums (technically he's QuBit), TweakTown...the list goes on. See what I mean?

Let's see what Google can tell me... *There is a Randil James on IMDB, seems to be a director or something. *There's also some Randil Sal in Star Wars. He's a part of the Solo family! I think I saw some user named Randil in a forum about gardening, or something like that... I didn't find the link though. :P

How did you end up on such a forum in the first place? :D
