There is one CCitizen on several forums. There are six of me on Twitter – all banned. There is one of me in Runescape. My account is 15 yo – old then many player. ---

Yeah, my username is not unique in Ontario, Canada. ---

Pretty much just me & some guy in Everquest. Any Ethilrists you’ve run into in online gaming (Diablo, Steam, Fortnite, Wow) was probably me. Can’t get to social media at work to check those numbers, but I think they’re pretty close. ---

My SDMB account is 20 years old as of yesterday. I don’t know of any other dtilque’s out there, so if you see one on another forum, it’s me. ---

A quick Google search turns up page after page after page of **Senegoid** cites. No idea how many of them are distinct. There are cites in many different languages. It never occurred to me that there would be users all over the place with this name, but it should have been obvious. NONE of them, other than on this board, are me. Of course, there was that one little incident where [I hijacked the entire Internet](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=692994) . . .

There are a variety of Dorks and Vaders out there, heck I think there’s even another Sith Bunny besides me on the SDMB(actual user name escapes me, but my mind’s eye sees a charter member tag that specifically says “Sith Bunny” or the like) but as far as I’m aware, I’m the only Dork Vader on second thought it might be “Sith Mod” or something, maybe I am the only Sith Bunny on the Boards ---

There is someone with my name on Facebook, but I can assure you that it is not me. My Facebook account is under my real name: Tim Ratfink Mortiss. ---

I seem to be a hotel and restaurant in Goa and maybe a tour company in Ukraine but no person dares take my ID. ---

Me, some guy/girl with [a Spotify account](https://open.spotify.com/artist/4zYLsp6kcT0FJGm10n2ok9), some guy/girl with a [YouTube account](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaZZh4_wD87w5hPdnOuHSEw) (may be the same person), and some guy/girl with [an Instagram account](https://www.instagram.com/sugarbaeily/?hl=en) (again, may be the same person).

I was early to the internet. Isosleepy was available for anything I signed up for. Now I can’t even use it for Best Buy (have to go up to numeral 4). So, presumably, dozens of me all over. My real name, however, I am presently the only one in the US.: two others having died in recent years. I did not know them. ---

Joey P tends to be in use at most places I sign up for. Adding an underscore or getting rid of the space sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t. My old username here (or, at least on AOL), to most people, just appears to be a random string of letters and numbers, also shows up here and there. I apparently wasn’t the only person with that model of computer monitor in the 90’s. ---

Don’t know. I usually use a different username. This was my first nerdy-place username, but some time after using it at the straight dope I started using variations of my name, or something completely anonymous that I’ve never connected with my real life. And there are too many acronyms being used that are equivalent, so it’s not really googleable. ---

Back in the Bronze Age of the internet, I used Jophiel because it was always available, unlike other more famous entries on the list of archangels. These days, it’s almost always taken and I have other unrelated usernames I use instead. So there’s a whole lot of me and not-me’s out there. ---

Don’t think I can tell. Anybody else using it as a username is drowned in hits for the tree. I haven’t seen it anywhere that isn’t me; but I don’t go a whole lot of places, so that doesn’t mean much. If you see it someplace else, PM me; I’m curious. – I’m a couple of different versions of thorny in a couple of different places. ---

How would I find out? I am also registered as Hari Seldon on Giraffe, but I haven’t gone there in years. When I google the name all the references are to the Asimov character and none to the boards. So AFAIK, I am unique. Should my wife join, I will suggest Dors Venabili. ---

Apparently I suffer from a common affliction. None of the other needscoffee out there is me. Hard to get a good count because it’s used as a hashtag. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-of-you-are-there/845959.md?page=2)
