Shared names and handles

When more than one person or organization has the same name.

Updated 30 September 2026 1 minute read

Many names are shared by more than one legitimate person or organization. A verified name that matches a handle does not automatically entitle you to it.

Where a name is shared, Media.com may mark its handle as Review required and allocate it only after a claim review, or not at all. Search suggests available alternatives — for example with a middle initial, profession or location.

If someone is using a handle to pretend to be you, report impersonation.
