The username I want is taken

You won't be able to get a certain Gmail address if the username you requested is:

• Already being used
• Very similar to an existing username (for example, if example@gmail.com already exists, you can't use examp1e@gmail.com)
• The same as a username that someone used in the past and then deleted
• Reserved by Google to prevent spam or abuse
