simply use vanitygen ( it will generate the requested address' name by using GPU or CPU of yours ) -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0
the step is quite simple even some people here are offering a services to generate a customized address for you

Vanitygen, you can get address with your name like 1ImHash, 1ImHaSh, and so on with your PC but it's difficult to generate the vanity addresses, you can use bitcoin vanity generator website like vante.me to generate, but it's very risk i don't recommended.

Thats pretty cool.. You can have 20+ of a single letter in an address too, right? Like 20 A's

[pereira4]

Would it be possible to have an address that's only 1's? like 1111111111111111111111111111? Now that would be crazy.

Anyway vanity addresses are not a good idea imo. You want your addresses to look as boring as possible, you don't want easily recognizable addresses because that can only lower your privacy in any case.

Just wanted to see how long it would take to generate 18 1's with vanity gen and it was like 1000 years

Apparently it is pretty easy to create a vanity bitcoin address, but creating one and also having its private key is a different matter. 

what a waste of bitcoins, although it just makes my bitcoin worth more lol

[adsbit]

Sucks not being able to spend 55BTC

[BitcoinBarrel]

Yeah I wasn't sure how long 5.290055e+025y was so I just said 1000 LOL

That's not even slightly off. It's off by the same order of magnitude as saying "I wasn't sure how old the universe was so I just said 10 microseconds LOL." Humans don't understand large numbers.

EDIT: Typo.

Idk, 1000 years isn't a bad estimate when you take into account progress of technology. amirite?? 

[BurtW]

amirite?? 

No.

Would it be possible to have an address that's only 1's? like 1111111111111111111111111111?

No.

What a strange address! I've never saw something similar before. But is it workinig, can you send and receive the coins without a problem?
I would alse like tow know could Bitcoin addresses be created on special orders and wishes like car plates for instance or is this impossible?

A) RTFT

B) Learn to use the search function.  Search for "vanity address"  or "vanity Bitcoin address"
