What name did it pick?  I imagine if you're picking a name from a list 
of 25000 names that some subset of combinations may yield like ratios.

But, if you double up on the file name side you may get closer:

for filename in filenames:
     ratios = [SM(ignore,filename+filename,username).ratio() for 
username in usernames]
     best = max(ratios)
     owner = usernames[ratios.index(best)]
     print filename,":",owner

... on the other hand, if you've only got a 100 files to sort out, you 
should already be done.
