 does atom 'babbis@REDACTED' already exist ? 

 From the reference manual ...

"
  list_to_existing_atom(String) -> atom()

  Types:

  String = string()

  Returns the atom whose text representation is String, but
  only if there already exists such atom.

  Failure: badarg if there does not already exist an atom whose
  text representation is String.
