When you signed up for MyLot, was your first choice of user name already taken?

I know when I have a new e-mail account, my first choice of user name is almost always taken. I try not to use my name, at least my last name, so it is harder to choose an original user name. In MyLot, I thankfully didn't have to make a second choice for username. AmbiePam was not used yet (imagine that!). So tell me, is your current user name the first one you wanted? If not, which one did you try to use, but failed to get approved?

I guess my choice was so *off the wall* that no one had taken it. :-)

I did not have to make a second choice. I used the first initial of my first name and my last name. It was not taken which I was a little surprised because usually it is taken.

With My Lot, I was lucky and got my first choice. When I start a new email address, its a different story though. Sometimes I have to try 2 or 3 before I get what I want.

I was not lucky to get my first choice of user name. I wanted "sweetlady", but it was taken:(. So, I have to add 10 after it as sweetlady1 also had taken. When I see a user name with some digit I think they did not get thier first choice, so have added the digit lol. But the strange thing is till today I have not came across on Mylot with those username what had been taken before of my choice.

True. When I see a number behind a user name, I think they must have not gotten their first choice of name because I hate putting numbers in my user names or email accounts. Of course, not everyone is that way. : )

Charms was not my first choice. I think I typed down 8 different usernames but still its taken already. I kept looking for the usernames I typed down before but can't see anyone with it. I happened to have a Chinese calendar on my desk and there are pictures of painting with the title on it. I looked through each title and saw the name lucky charms. I decided to use charms. No. 88 is just a number I added so I can be sure it will be accepted. :)

Nah, this is my first choice. Lordwarwizard isn't that common. One or or 2 of the 3 components might be but when you put all 3 components as 1 word, it is quite rare. And so, I got it.

That's true. Put the 'war' in the name and I've never heard it. And me, being the world traveler than I am. : )

I always have my username already taken up when I created my email account. So I decide to go for an unconventional one after many unsuccessful attempts. And guess what! It was available. That's how whyaskq come about and I have been using it since. So naturally, when I sign up for mylot, whyaskq is the choice, and first choice too.

Good thing no one got mine yet, although it isn't the regular account username I sign up with. Juskoday is actually a play on 'Diyos ko day!' which can roughly translate to 'Oh My God!'.

Every time I see your user name from now on, that's what I'm going to think. LOL

My first choice was Taymouse and hey, it wasn't taken! :) Taymouse is my username for a lot of things because my name is Taylor, and my mom used to always call me Mouse. And I combine them together and get my username.

I think it is cute! It reminded me of a girl that was in a lower grade than me when I went to school. Her name was Tampson and she was so tiny!

Nope I usually have the same problem as you trying to get an email address, but when I signed up 4cuteboys was open, so of course I was happy!

My name is very common but my last name is very unique and hence when I kept my complete name as my user id on mylot, it was easily accepted.

My user name was available right from the start. But I think if I had decided to spell it with a 'C' instead of a 'K', I might have been out of luck. LOL. So I decided not to take any chances and stuck with my current one.
