We're sorry but this username is taken

[TeslaCoil]

When making a youtube account (and this is my third time) I always find the name making part of the whole deal total bullstuff. I can seriously come up with the most whack names and it says someone has taken it (And I'm fairly certain that some of the names I pick HAVE NOT BEEN THOUGHT OF). Is there really multiple people coming up with this crap or is there some starfish at google who thought this would be funny.

half the time I think it bugs out and tells you a name is taken when it isn't

[AromaniaFTW]

those bastards at google fake this just to make our lives harder

[Rainzx¹]

I absolutely hate it when it try to use Rainzx as my username and the person that took the username doesn't even use it.

i actually came across someone on RotMG that said they wanted their name to be mine but i had taken it. i thought it was funny because he was trying to convince me to change it so he can have it.

You can always see for yourself if it's taken by trying to go to it's profile directly.

Actually, even if the name isn't taken now, any account that has used it previously will have permanently taken it, even if the account closes. I tried grabbing "ShadowsfeaR" quite a few months ago, because the account it was associated with no longer existed, but it said it was taken still, an I couldn't register with it.

And this is why I had to name my account the semi-unoriginal Mauritsiobro.

[Electrk]

My name was taken so I had to put a "The" in front of it

[Visage]

I have one time when I was just making a temporary e-mail for like a game or something I'll put like Visage of course that name is taken not that unique but it will recommend like Visage133757 and I'm like okay it's just temporary I click the suggestion click okay "That name is taken." WTF

Good to know a name like syerjchep will never be taken.
