When I sign up for sites that use some variation on your first and last
name to assign usernames, I regularly discover the first one it suggests
is available for me has a three digit number at the end. I have a
standard four-digit number I use in these cases, and I've even seen a
collision on that before.
I used to live in a small town with only about 30K residents, and once
when I forgot my ID card I discovered that just my gym had 3 Greg Smiths
listed as members when they tried to confirm my membership by name.
