SDMB Username Search: How many characters until you're the only option in the dropdown?

14 of us start our name with “Bubba”

The “D” makes all the others go away.

Without the capitol letters, I get nothing at all but is will go to where I am.

With the capitol letters, I am in the first drop down but do not go single until 5 letters with proper capitalization.

3 letters = no suggestions

4 letters = 13 suggestions*:
Toucan Sam
Toucanna
Touch and Go
Touchdown Bundy
touchemall23
TouchMeKnot
Touch Mir
touchmypussyy (sic [very sic])
touchngo
touchstone
TouchstonePics
Toucis
touctuamb

5 letters = Toucan Sam, Toucanna
6 letters = Toucan Sam, Toucanna
7 letters = Toucanna

*I can’t be ar$ed to look up their user stats.

Seven.

14 usernames start with Honey. I am the original. :wink:

There’s a zeldarae so I’m never the last one in my dropdown.

Same for me: there’s a gilesjuk who has only posted once, in 2003.

Five for me.

All of them. We had a Tamerlane1396. One of the hidden perils of using a historical user name.

4 letters. Apparently at 3 letters, there’s more than 14 names so mine doesn’t even show up

5 characters for me.

5, there are a lot of Ford names out there.

aruv gets me alone.

Only takes me 4 letters.

There are no dropdowns for “hr.” I am the third “hrh” and the first “hrho.” So four. Strange to find two higher hrh’s…

  1. There are two usernames that start with ‘Salti,’ SaltineCracker and Salticidae. Neither seems to have any posts to show for it.

I had to literally type in “Anonymous U” for my name to even come up. When I did type in “Anonymous U”, however, mine was the only name there!

So it takes me 10 letters.

:smiley:

I had to get to “hari seld”. On my real name it never happened even after I had typed the complete name.

Five. There’s a lot of fear around this place.
