I know what you mean, I sometimes have the same problem!

But hey, stick some xXx on either side or some kind of symbol and you can probably get your name every time... unless it's a but feminine, I don't know lmao.

Yahoo and Hotmail beats anything I've ever seen. It may take 12 attempts
to get a name in even it is the most absurd and unusual name you can think of. One has to be really creative to get in one of those sites first time.
But you have to think of the millions and milions who think the same way.

You can bet I've got that problem, what with a generic name and all. The 128 thing I had to add since early on - it was the amount of RAM my computer had at the time (it also happens to work nicely into the first 3 numbers of my date of birth). And even that was taken on Yahoo when I first signed up.

Of course, now all the sensible names are taken, either from the same person using multiple accounts, or bots taking them for malicious use.

A lot of places have "pi" taken, so I had to add something (it's a long story). Some places even have pirules taken so I had to add 3.14 or something. I guess that's what I get for having a username that's so popular.

I was wondering that.

And if they weren't before, they certainly are now! They're probably getting all your hate mail too. But on the flipside, they'll also be getting your fan mail (all 3 of them).

When I started online I was 'The Dude' on every site and then I went to 'Dude111'

A few times "The Dude" was taken on a site I sailed ashore on but not many times.....
