We all have that one favorite username that we use across all of our social networks, so what happens when you realize your name is taken? The horror! Before you endure the painstaking task of typing send to see if your username is available, there's a site called namechk that will do the grunt work for you. When I saw this site on Mashable, I literally had an ah-ha moment, since I now know what sites I'll have to use alternate names for. Just type in your preferred name and namechk will reveal what sites you can still sign up for — with your awesome username.

this is sweet. i checked mine and it's available almost everywhere except ebay, youtube and a couple others, and that's because i'm using them there! (not that i know what most of those are anyway but still!)
1I learned about a better service last night...its friendscall.me
2It's funny to look through and see who else uses this screen name. Apparently people in Japan, France and the Phillipines use this screen name. Random.
And it's also a good way to remember what I've signed up for... which according to this, is nothing.
3Someone else is using my username on Blogger.com and Tribe (whatever that is) but other than that it's either free or I've taken it.
Cool.
4Whoa thanks geek!
5This always happens to me and then i can never remember the login
since it's different.
This is so cool. Good thing you found that. I was running out of username ideas.
