Yeah, as the guy above me said I'd refrain from letting a website play any part in making this address in the least. The last thing you're going to want is to be losing money just because you wanted some dumb address with your name or nickname in it and couldn't just take the time to do this all by yourself.

Make the addy by yourself, never trust anyone with your private keys! This goes with anything and not just vanity addresses.

Whatever you do, don't use websites to create it
I made a mistake of making a vanity address using BitcoinVanityGen (The site even has HTTPS lol)
It was all fine for like a month then i deposited 6 bitcoin and within hours they accessed my wallet and stole all the bitcoins

The address cannot be generated by somebody else, maybe the first characters but not the rest so technically they are not identical. As for how much letters (how fast) you can get pretty much depends on the GPU power you have, If you choose something long, It will take forever, keep it simple for 4-5 characters.

See this thread for how to create one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vanitygen-vanity-bitcoin-address-generatorminer-v022-25804
