126: apparently not a unique moniker

I suppose a simple 3-numeral sequence would be expected in others' usernames as a coincidence. but come on! I might dismiss things like "<name here>126", but a quick search on Google reveals multiple "someguy126", as well as "anon126" (my username on Wikipedia (see my user page), user accounts that don't belong to me.

I don't mean any hard feelings, but it's a little frustrating. especially because I don't use my real name, I'd like to use this post to unify my online identity

these belong to me:

Update: my accounts are also accessible at anon126.tk, and that will probably replace this as the authoritative reference
  • Blogspot: someguy126.blogspot.com (what you're reading now)
  • Twitter: @someguy126
  • Wikipedia: Anon126 (already mentioned)
  • YouTube: see below
  • SoundCloud: as of 24 Apr 2013, I have an account under the name 126mix, though the URL path is still "someguy126"
  • Tumblr: as of 20 Aug 2013, I have (another) blog, someanon126.
specifically on well-known sites, these do not belong to me:
  • Blogspot: anon126.blogspot.com
  • Twitter: @anon126 (seems to belong to the same person as the Blogspot blog; the same slogan and picture are used)
  • YouTube: someguy126 and anon126 (both! this sucks because I was thinking of making a YouTube account. I might have other plans)
    • as of 23 Feb 2012, I have a YouTube channel, someanon126. lame, yes, but I figured I should combine the two, especially since both individual ones were taken
