Once you join public forums your words are immortalized. Try entering your username in Google. If you use the same one in a lot of places (like I do) a whole lot of s*** shows up. Just make sure if you are going to be a jerk online somewhere do it under a different moniker so you don't compromise your good name.

Yep. It's usually a pretty good idea to simply live by the mantra, "don't be a jerk."

My username is actually a first name, just not my own. Googling it turns up 28,900 links to those Meadbhs - more power to them!

I'm sure I could google my username and find out all sorts of information about myself. Some security expert I am.

128,000 for me... none of whom I recognized. There are, apparently, those that are much more of a "jerk" than me since I didn't even make the list -- I don't know how that happened.

My user name is in the urban dictionary where I’m defined as “A hot cup or mug of coffee.” I like the hot part.

And she wants to go to New York, which I assume means NYC. I better have a heart-to-heart talk with that girl. 
I googled "freebird5825" and found out my handle is unique.
