Facebook Username Race

I got audigex, although it is a word I invented and as far as I'm aware nobody apart from my brother and myself use it regularly.

2700 google results for it, there were none when I first used it :-)

"Hey dude, you on Facebook?"
"Yeah, I'm on there, got some cracking pics of are lass in fishing boots"
"Cool, will add you as a friend and have a look"

later....

"Hey dude, which John Smith are you, there's about 16,000 of them"
"Ahhhh, sorry mate, username is arelassinfishinggear.horny"
"Nice one, will have a butchers later"

Sorted!
 
got 'mysurname.rofl' ... s'ok, but I want to change it already, maybe have a rotation like u can do with sigs lol... I don't think many people know about it, because I've only spotted one other friend who has one. Anyhoo, looks fun, and now I can give my username out to friends... oh wait I'm already 'friends' with them all.

hmm the . between the name doesn't seem to make any difference. get the same result with or without.

Well all of us who took up the auto-suggested firstname.surname are probably thinking BONUS about firstnamesurname (without the dot) also working.

However there is no guarantee that this will continue to be so in the future and those usernames could become available to register by others.
 
haha, me not sleeping too well and checking it at 6am has REALLY pee'd off my brother who wanted the same!
 
Got first name.last name about 6 hours after it went live; surprising, really, as there are 80+ people with my name on facebook, and another 60+ with close variants of it (additional middle name, etc.).
 
couldnt get my name or any other variet of it without adding a number to the end. So just settled with my lastname.Firstname instead :)
