My evil Spock is Alucard. How's that?
There are like 20 Dr.Aculas on Steam, but steam let's multiple people have a name, so that's not so bad. Honestly, I have a harder time dealing with the period in my name cause a lot of sites don't allow special characters.
I have two "backup names" both pretty rare. Well one fairly rare, but it's an obscure Chrono Trigger reference and is short, so I've had it super rarely sniped. The other name only gives me a problem if there's a character limit 'cause it's 14 characters long.
My name was a ref to the film "Night of the Ghouls," hilariously sent up during a "bad ideas" montage in the film "Ed Wood."
But the fucking Scrubs stole that bit and now all these scrubs fans are using my name!

hahaha. sorry, I just love Game Center CX and found that image somewhere and thought it would make a good avatar.
It took awhile but I found someone else with my name
http://okwave.jp/profile/u712271.html
I have no clue what that is.
I also found a picture of a cat entited "mrboo001.jpg"
Nothing too bad.

Yeah, that was a good plan, to bad it didn't work out. I've always had pretty good luck securing my identity with similar tactics, but...
Your mileage may vary.
AuthenticM

I seem to be the only AuthenticM on the Internet. However, there is a dude on here called "EloquentM" and I can't shake the feeling that he was inspired by me. But if so, I'd be curious as to why he went with the letter "M" at the end of his username.
There is, I shit you not, a "Retro_" here on GAF. Dunno how that's permissible, to just slap an underscore there, but oh well. I've thought about mentioning it to a moderator, but since this person doesn't try to impersonate me I guess there's no foul play. Strangely enough he registered on my birthday.
There's a few people floating around with "Retro' in their name, but none quite so blatantly similar. There's even a "Retro-lover", but as far as I know he or she has never professed this love directly to me.
There's also a guy named "Kid Dracula" who uses a similar avatar, but he's cool and has good taste so I don't mind.
As far as the internet goes, Retro is pretty common. I have a lot of them, but in a few places I've had to switch back to "Retrogames", which was the original screen name from waaaaay back in the late 90s before people started shortening it to just "Retro". I know there's a Retro on the TIGSource forums, that's the only one I've directly encountered.

My username is almost exclusive to my various accounts all over the web, but there is one thing:

They are... my crew? What!
There is also this, I have no idea what this is: http://www.tibiaring.com/char.php?c=Tenrius+Sana&lang=en.

I have a televator.
I have no doppelganger. (Or so I can find.)
There's a dude named Ultra-tech on DA, but he's only drawn one thing, so it doesn't count.
There is this though....http://www.ultratech.com/

I chose my user name for this very reason. Its dumb, meaningless and nonsensical enough that there can't be overlap without plagiarism.
Vipershark
Member
There are a couple of Vipersharks online, unfortunately.
As far as I know I'm the original.
One of them made bad flash cartoons on Newgrounds. The most recent one that I know of lives in the same state as me and plays a lot of TF2 and DotA2. I added him on Steam and from time to time we message each other like "ugh man why did you take my name on X site"
According to him he's been Vipershark since 2004 but I've been posting under this name since 2003 and have proof of it so I guess I really am the original.

Pants Party!
apparently there is a punk/rock (don't really know since i've never heard them) band named legbone from ohio. which is ironic since i was born in ohio but did not get my nickname (which is my irl nickname) until i was in high school here in arkansas. i got the nickname before the band came along. people always assume or ask if i picked the name because of the band. nope.
There's quite a few ultima esque names out there. I belong to a decent group I'm sure

Ah, if you're getting into real names I've got a whole bunch of 'em - mostly in California and Florida and a mere three (and counting me, four) in the UK. So far as I can tell from looking at their histories we are probably all related. Unusual surname.

My doppelganger is from Czech Republic and listens to Incubus way too much.

Krelian isn't the most original name, so there are several guys on the internet using it besides me, like this anime fan, this guy here and this guy from Chile.
There's also someone on GAF who's using a very similar avatar to mine. I've actually mistaken him for me once or twice...

There seems to be a Darth-Woo on deviantART, but the account is pretty much empty. Probably because they have the unfortunate situation of being in the same boat as you are now.

there isn't anyone using my current screen name, besides me, but I took this one because I was frequently finding imy previous SN attached to sites I was not affiliated with. Some porn sites, which, some may be me, but not all, and I guess someone decided to use my pic to make those horrible blingee gif thingies.
