Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Friendly Impersonal Name Theory

What is the most friendly sounding, and most impersonal sounding name on everybody edits?

What is the most friendly sounding, and most impersonal sounding name possible on everybody edits?
By this I mean that the name is inviting enough that you will tell them random stuff without fear that they will go
"what??" and then proceed to ask you questions about it once you say it does not matter.

For example, I was in a level for hours. I finally got the code after those hours whilst away from keyboard. When i got back I said I was free to a random person I did not recognize. It was partially due to them just then coming to the level, but I also believe it had to do with their name.

For purposes of privacy I will withhold their name.
The general idea is that the name is friendly/inviting so that you feel like you can say whatever to it, as I mentioned earlier. It must also sound impersonal; it should sound like the person is not really a person.

An example would be an adjective with numbers after it. This is very unique for a name, as names are usually not also adjectives. The numbers are also usual due to the low number of names that have numbers in them. I believe both of these factors contribute to the impersonal feel of the name.

I believe that the adjective of the name should be an inviting, joyful sounding word. Examples include the words:
beautiful
happy
infinite
joyful

I believe that for a number to fit the impersonal standards, it must be a number that you do not hear very often, but one that does not stand out. It must be a unique number that you do not look twice at.
Examples of this include:
3940
392
490
An important note here is that some numbers can lose their impersonal feel over repeated sightings
examples of these numbers include:
222
0176

I might argue that 222 is not unusual enough as it is just 3 of the same number in a row.

0176 is peculiar because it has a 0 in front of other numbers, which never happens usually. If you get a number with a 0, the 0 is ignored. I am not sure whether this adds or takes away from the impersonal feel or not; if someone could do some research I would greatly appreciate it.

Now, for all I know the name does not need to be an adjective and a number. There could be many other combinations or standards of names that manifest the friendly impersonal feel of a name.

Re: Friendly Impersonal Name Theory

I don't know, but I'm surprised there aren't as many users with "xXx", "death", "k1ller", "epic" and such in their names as other games have. Also examples of definitely not friendly-sounding names.

Why did I create my username out of numbers in the first place? //forums.everybodyedits.com/img/smilies/smile
