Someone has stolen my name. - Page 2

Kenzya is completely made up.. out of my mind.. it's a coincidence that it came out as Kenya with a Z.. Yet there are a couple people on EVERQUEST with the name Kenzya and a couple people on AIM with the name Kenzya..

CalibreneGuru · 09-7-2004, 05:11 PM

I can guarantee no one but me uses my name, and if they did I would seriously be like "wtf".

staroceanfreakx · 09-7-2004, 05:16 PM

SOFX and S0FX were taken, but people use that for my nickname sometimes if they don't like to type it alot. And in one rather unfortunate typo incident, I was called sofa instead of sofx, and some people still call me sofa.

**Reach** · 09-7-2004, 05:31 PM

Uh yea...get over it...theres like a billion people on the net. Someones bound to type in the same letters for a name as you. Not to mention 'Rediahs' has the world Red in it, i'm sure eventually, no matter what name you use, someone else is going to use it or come up with it, unless you have something like 'ASDFGJKL;jamespoopypantSS$$$PIMP'

OMG NO THAT WUZ MY SECRIT USRNAME U RUINED IT!!!!

Kenzya · 09-7-2004, 08:53 PM

"Rediahs"
Let's elaborate.

Rediahs kind of sounds like "Red Eyes" which happens to be in the movie Mystery Men. Someone who thinks they're original makes their nickname RedEyes. It's taken, so they just sound it out and get it at "Rediahs".

09-7-2004, 09:17 PM

Am I the only one here who supports Chrissi?

Rediahs, like Chardish, is an invented name, and as someone who has used his invented name for 4+ years on various places on the Internet, I understand her plight. It's a name that sounds like a name, rather than a screen name.

I wouldn't want to see some idiot go around impersonating me on other forums, either. In fact I wouldn't even like the idea of there being another Chardish out there.

Kenzya · 09-7-2004, 09:26 PM

I thought of you more as a vegetable than a person.

TACODUDE · 09-7-2004, 09:31 PM

Someone coulda seriously messed up when spelling "Radish" and thought it looked cool, so they kept it.

jewpinthethird · 09-7-2004, 10:23 PM

Holy sh*t, I would fly off the handle if someone took my name.

Tantric · 09-8-2004, 01:35 PM

why does it matter....there are atleast 280million people in the US and you're telling us
that you are the only person to think of that name...? And thats not counting people from
Canada and other parts of the world..so just deal with it.

Feuergeist · 09-8-2004, 07:59 PM

heh, I havent seen another person using my name. course, somebody on aim took it already, but they are never on. I have a feeling that I did it, and forgot the password.

Tasuke · 09-8-2004, 08:53 PM

i don't really care if someone took this screen name 'cuz
it's based off of an anime character thus is fairly popular,
but if I had a completely original name and someeone took
it I would be extremely pissed

Chrissi · 09-8-2004, 09:23 PM

Tantric, how many have internet access? How many of those people actually WANT to use a made-up name (rather than basketball-boi or sweetsxybitch or those popular sounding names)... you don't see very many people with made-up names. More often than not they are variations of actual words.

I would say that less than a few million people would actually use a name such as "Rediahs". Now consider that there are 8 billion different ways you can make a 7-letter word.

Okay, so it's got the word "red" in it... there are still half a million 4-letter possibilities. But then what other words could you tack onto the beginning of "iahs", which is an odd combination indeed? You could go Funkiahs, which sounds to be more popular than something like Rediahs but GUESS WHAT, google results nothing for it. You could tack anything on there. Brings the idea count BACK WAY UP. What about Bluiahs? Greeniahs? In fact I just tried a bunch of colours and none of them turned up anything.

I don't understand how it sounds like "eyes" anyway... but as far as I can tell nobody is using it that way. The only real google result I can find for something that sounds like Rediahs is the word Obediahs...

By the way I'm from Canada, so if I were you I'd count the 30-40 million people in Canada before those in the US...

The statistics just don't add up. I don't see how anybody else could randomly think to use Rediahs for a name. Or a word at all. This means that it's very likely that they saw me using it and started using it themselves. THIS is what bothers me. It damn freaks me out that somebody would want my name.

If anybody's got any real evidence that, for some reason, Rediahs is something that people might use without having seen it before, I'd like to hear it.

Kenzya · 09-8-2004, 09:57 PM

You make it sound like nothing like this has ever happend in the whole of the universe. What are you going to do? What do you expect other people to do? I mean, fuck. You have no proof other than "your beliefs" that say someone can't make it up without having seen it. Keep using it or give it up.

I don't understand how it could freak you out. Even if someone did see your name and take it it's just because they like the name or something similar. It's not like they're stealing your clothes and pretending to be you on the streets.

Sorry.

Scarlette · 09-9-2004, 06:55 AM

No one ever steals my name...'cause Scarlette is just well...I don't know.

It's my real name. Do you see someone walking around with the name Scarlette all the time? No, you don't. It's just...me.

Once I tried to join this site and my name was taken, but it turns out my friend made the name. I was like, "Wtf!? What's the pass, it's mine now." and he gave it, because he's like, obsessed with me.

You're right, I have no proof. You're absolutely right there. I never claimed to have proof, and if you have proof that they DIDN'T I'd REALLY like to hear it.

It's because it's the exact reason I chose the name.. it was unique. I wanted a unique name, and now it's no longer unique, probably because of some dumbass who decided it sounded cool and took it.

Arch0wl · 09-9-2004, 11:21 AM

There are several ArchOwl's.

There's one Arch0wl. It's me. Everything you google under Arch0wl will be related to me, and if just so happens to not be (doubtful) they're probably not that significant anyway because my google results compared to theirs is like the entire army of China and North America vs Zimbabwe

Kenzya · 09-9-2004, 11:31 AM

Everyone thinks their name is unique.. Look up Kenzya in google.. see what you get..
