Forum:Are you allowed to reserve images

Are you allowed to reserve images. I am trying to get my first character claimed and someone commented. They said that the image was permanently reserved to User:Justiee. If you'd like to see the comment on my claming page the name of my character is Styles Finnegan. I just want to know if I absolutely have to change it.
