If my name is taken, I start breaking it down (Crimson5, 5pheonix, crimsonpheonix), and if all those names are taken, I go with Shroudedwraith.

I have many names I use in different places, for example, I used to be called Wasder here, but I never used it anywhere else. Or TRTBA, which I've never used elswhere.

I dislike using the same name, for a few reasons, on of which being that on a forum a while ago, everyone just assumed I was a girl because of my avatar (Meryl from Metal Gear Solid), and I couldn't be bothered to correct them. Meeting someone from there could be awkward.

My name is my own: I created it myself. Thus, it is very rare that the name "Thaius" is already taken. But if it is, I just add the last name. So in some places I'm known as Thaius Tydane.

I use 0Soraryuu0 and Metalwiring in Soraryuu isn't available, or if I don't feel like using it.

I'll add a "1" or a "2" to the end of "Marter" if it's taken.

The only other username I've ever used is "OdogforMVP", and that was on GameFAQs.

My username is never taken and the only reason i don't have it as my xbox like gamer tag is because i got it black listed when me and my dad chipped my original xbox.

If it is taken i guess i'd just use my last name, which is my nickname anyway.

Despite not being all that original, I've never come across a site with the name "Pimppeter2" taken.

This actually IS my secondary username :p

I hardly use my real name for anything other than "official" stuff, and have another username that I use far more often. I doubt it's taken here, and dunno why I used this username, really.

Guess to go incognito? *flips up collar, puts on shades*

As you may guess from my current handle, I usually pick something off the top of my head when I arrive at a site. This has caused trouble with not being able to REMEMBER my own handle, but I rarely run into duplicates.

This IS my alternate name.

Some other person from 2005 took "Kaemon" and never used it.

So I'm stuck with my alternate "Kei Kaemon" This happened on XBL too... and PSN....

I think its all the same person.

Never happened to me. I guess it's because it's a variant spelling of a name that isn't mine. I didn't even realise that when I thought of it, it just sounded good in my head.

Well, this is the first time I've used this username. But if I ever register on another site or finally get Xbox Live, and it's taken, I'll some variant of it, like mutantsuperbat, or any variant of the username I use on this other forum, "da_killer_rabbit".
