I think I'd first make them show me they've actually used the name in SL. Heck, it might even be a Linden sitting on the name.

I was apparently not important enough to have my name poached. Sigh.
That's exactly the kind of situation where I think it's ok to take a name that has already been taken in SL - you arrived at it independently in trying to sign up for SL, and I see no reason under those circumstances why you can't be the first to arrive at it independently elsewhere.
