If you really need to have the same name in many services, it’s going to be really hard or even impossible. Having a nice and short name in one service is possible, because the name of the service adds some extra length to the whole thing. Just think of Lemmy names for example [shortName]@[InstanceName].[something]. The whole thing is actually pretty long, so making that unique is very easy.
