confirmed user name already exists

Hi,
I just found out by accident that my username does already exist. 😳 I thought that’s not possible. Anybody else with same experience? (The names are totally identical) Anybody who can help to clear that?
As far as i can see, you're the only person with that username. Can you share a link to the other profile with the same username? I'm pretty sure this is impossible.
The username is hollygolightly it's possible as there is a big dash between ur name @holly_golightly but that guy don't have that
Thanks to all of you for your support so far.

Point is, that until now I have played with somebody else only once so far (pretty new here).
Now, when I click on the "triangle" next to my name (using App mobile), the triangle flips and I can see:
Profile
Games
Inbox
.... (and so on)

When I click onto games I see a bunch of games were played with holly_golightly (which up until now I thought this is my user name exclusively). I have never played these games. The last one is from 20th June 2021 (so rather fresh). "My" one, the one I played, and just finished today appears also there.
So Q is... what's going on?
No offence but you're not making it very easy to understand. Perhaps if you linked to a single game you believe you didn't play?

""My" one, the one I played, and just finished today appears also there."

This is very vague. Are you describing one game here or two. If one, why would "my" be in quotes if you played it?

Perhaps someone else used your computer and played games under your name?
#6 yes, and the triangle icon you can only see when you open other players' profiles. You will not have the option to report yourself. The block icon means, not blocking yourself but seeing how many IDs you have blocked. It shows a list of ID's that you have blocked
perhaps someone also has access to ur account and played using ur account. change ur password and logout all sessions to see if the issue still persists
Hello to all commentators
Thanks again very much for all your suggestions. Because I am pretty new on this app, maybe some of you are right and I did play these games, thinking it has been training field rather than a match.
I will keep a more thoroughly eye on this.
Thanks again to of you, for your kind, quick and helpful support. :)
