I just googled my name, and every single result on the first page (out of 4) involves me. So yes, unless someone else wants to start using Euphbug for some reason I currently am the true owner of the name.

Not really. Sadly I once had a very unique name but then the supermodel Eva Helene Skarvig gets better known and kicks me out of the first ranks in google. Only my escapist and youtube accounts can be seen on page one.

My nickname is all mine. Although, when spelled with an S, it refers to an boss in Metroid Prime, but I presume that is not an imposter. :p

Pretty much. There are at least a few other users called Zombie_Fish or zombie_fish on the internet, but a lot of them are my own accounts. Bear in mind though that since I have an Escapist profile, I'll automatically have a profile on Warcry and any other Themis Media site as well, which is a lot of sites. And that's why a lot of the links on Google when you search my name are those ones.

Yep, looks like I own my username since when I google it, I only get my profiles from various sites.

1,380 results for Danpascooch, and I flipped through the first 100, and they are all me, yep I pretty much own it.

It's really just an altered mash-up of my first and last name, so who would want that anyway?

Seriously though, 10,000 points if you can guess my last name, here's a hint:

1.) Starts with a "P"
2.) It is an Italian name (Even though I am barely Italian at ALL)

Nope, I own bakonslayer, if you EVER wanted to know about anything about me, you can find everything you want to know by Googling Bakonslayer. I kinda think that my lack of privacy is awesome, if you guys wanna you can just message me on any of the 7 gajillion social networking sites that pop up there.

I was the first user on the Steam Community to use ''Right4Dead'' as a name, there's hundreds of them now. It's more flattering than anything else (to me), though.

I introduced the word Hapetiitti to the finnish language about 5 years ago, so yes, it's esclusive to me. I'm proud of myself.

Especially since up til then, from about when I was 8 I had been using the (literally) dreamed-up nickname Blackhawk in all the games I played. After my transition online, I realised it wasn't a very unique name.

The internet is so awesome. And Twitter is VERY public.
No frets, I make everything public because I still have an immense and virginal faith in humanity! ^_^
