Can you not use vanitygen and import the private key to multibit?

Will try to make it with it and to import.
Never tried that before.
Thanks for the idea!

You should also be aware that any bitcoin address someone creates for you is not your own, it is shared between you and him.
Only an address that you created by yourself using a reliable random generator is yours.

Thanks.
I made it, but I will have to test how it is going to work.
Looks fine for now, as it received the amount I sent.
"Problem" is that it broadcasting 2 addresses :D
But I hope that's ok?

OP, please read OnkelPaul's comment. What he meant was: your funds could be sent away to other addresses (stolen) by the original wallet creator.

Yes, I saw it.
I used vanitygen online to get the desired wallet ID.
So, is it still risky?

I am not quite sure what is "vanitygen online". Do you mean a site called "vanitygen online" or downloaded "vanitygen" online?
There is a difference. The safest way to use "vanitygen" is to download it from original official site and run it OFFLINE.

Running it Online? Yes, that is risky.

Downloading and running locally (from a site you trust) and not connected to the net while running it, safe machine etc, that is safer.

It's a website that generates wallets: http://bitcoinvanitygen.com

So, it generated it, I used instructions to make, edit and import the key, and after the sync, wallet is working on my PC on MultiBit app.
