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

3 for me too

AceP 4 letters

Theres a bunch of Ace choices. But only one AceP

When I get to ten letters, there are two choices–me, and someone called “pseudotrition ruber ruber.” (There’s an extra “i” in there.) What does this mean? Someone invented a fake name that he/she thought would look like I was posting?

Whaaaaaat there are three people with different variations of SurrenderDorothy.

One is Surrender Dorothy
One is SurrendrDorothy
and one, of course is me.

So it’s nine- SurrenderD.

I have to type my entire username, because there is somebody named Mister Richland. I was surprised at the number of “Mister (Something)” names; I’ve never seen most of them before.

These bastards are all out there laughing at us! They’re LAUGHING AT US!!!

Four.

I’m another never unique poster–I don’t recognize Eureka2 or Eureka4

Eight. Though I have never seen any of them post, there are a handful of other posters with Rhiannon+some number as their user name.

6, apparently. There’s a foolscap. I thought there was a foolsgold, but I guess not.

  1. There’s someone named “panache” who hasn’t posted since 2004.

Three characters.

Five, thanks to **Labtop08 **(who only has ONE post)

There are a lot of Dr. names out there, so many that I don’t even show up on the list. As soon as I type the G, it’s just me. I thought we had a Dr. G somewhere out there, guess not.

3, nothing like me.

I have to get to the hyphen to go from 6 choices to 1. “Hypno” is sort of popular.

Well I type all 5 letters and it’s me and some mooching moocher named Moocher who mooched my name.

4-5, depending if spaces count. I get nothing until I hit 3 letters, then this:

It’s Docta G.
