How does Twitter assign the @ handle ?

Some users seem to have such appropriate @ handles on Twitter, almost as though they were allowed to choose it.

But I get a @ handle with "1" appended to my name !
 
reason is the ones you want are already taken by someone irrespective if they are using or not.
I have read that if the handle you want is taken but not being used, you can DM to the person to get credentials but totally depends on the person.
