With my whole name, I get:

BigT  
bigtextu  
BigTimeGene  
BigToad  
bigtodd  
bigtoe  
bigtoe39  
bigtoes  
Bigtrout  
bigtruck46  
BigTuffGuy

With that many people, I’m not going to try and figure out how many posts they’ve had or when their last one was. But I will point out I don’t remember ever seeing a post by any of them.

You can also enter 3 or more characters in the “search by username” box and uncheck “exact name”. On top of the search results page you get a listing of all usernames that contain that string of characters.
