I'm searching for a new (alternative) screen name, but I can't find a name that isn't already used on the Internet.
I've tried (Mr)CookieByte, but unfortunately that name is already taken. I think I was too exited that I tried that name without doing a Google Search or a username check. 
Does anyone have tips on how to find a nice unique screen name, and how did you found yours? 
EDIT: I'm keeping my username, but I like to hear how you came up with your nick.

Lovely image there, Grendel_Man...
I chose my real name as my username because I just wanted to be myself. |

Officer 1BDI was the pseudonym I was using to post my Futurama fics under back in the day because it's a part of a joke that I was fond of from the show's pilot. When I started actually joining forums, I stuck with it partially because people already knew me by the name and partially because it seemed like a safely vague, genderless moniker.
TestName, my other screen-name, was pulled out of thin air and convenience and I grew to like the sound of it. 
You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there.
