I've never bothered looking for my actual name before as I've had the account I've got since 2008 but I just put it in the search and apparently someone registered it back in 2018, not me though.

Do people just block register names in the hope that one day they can sell it back if someone becomes high profile. As there has never been any activity on it at all. No followers, follows, posts or even likes.

maybe its his name too?

My name is surprisingly common, even though you probably would not think that if I revealed it. It went on twitter long ago. I did save the .co.uk, .net and .uk versions of my name, the .com had long since gone and used by a US law firm (on checking it is strangely available again in a private sale: $3980)

Obviously could be someone the same name, particularly globally.
Just seemed odd that there was zero activity on it.
Might have expected at least a 'Hello world'.
