Hi procoder thanks for your nice information. I never think such way to get existing user name. I just check individually when I am going to register and if system said it already exist by someone and I try to make alternative. You putted excellent information and I should use further, if I need.

That's really cool, thanks for sharing procoder. I checked it out and it seems that my username is not as popular as the vast majority of the sites gave me a green light. It is a good idea to keep this site in mind before you choose a username, especially if it is something quite important where you would prefer to be as original and as unique as possible. The username is after all as important as our birth name almost, so come to think of it, we should place importance on the selection.

That is awesome, thanks for sharing. I just use my name for most profiles but I might find this very useful in the future.

Thanks for sharing this information that may be useful to me somehow. What if I find on a site that my username was already being used? Take note that my username is quite unique because it was coined from my real first name and surname. I don’t think it is a coincidence that someone had just thought of using my username. It would be more of intentional and that is why I am asking what to do.
