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?

what do you think makes a good username?

here's my small list:

  • can be used on any forum and doesn't invoke copyright or a trademark (i.e. Onjit, not Minecraftftwbro)

  • doesn't try to invoke attention like a tryhard (e.g. Laderw, not XXx=~LaDeRW~=xXX

  • pronouncable and actually makes sense (e.g. Zumza, not Zmruptjqt)

  • won't possibly regret it in the future (e.g. not IlovememeslolXDtherecool)

add your own

10 years and still awkward. Keep it up, baby!

Re: what do you think makes a good username?

  • It should be easy to remember

  • It should be not easily mistaken with a word(e.g. My autocorrection tends to put Ingot instead of Onjit)

  • And probably the most important thing is that it should represent you.

Re: what do you think makes a good username?

If your name contains 2+ words , you need to place them right .
Because my real name is gosha, 2nd word is noob. So it is Gosha Noob
But people can't understand it
I saw so many variants of writing my name
Like; goshan oob, gosh a noob , go shan oob, goshano ob etc

Re: what do you think makes a good username?

Meh, I actually like my username. It's an actual word, so it doesn't sound weird. Original or not.

When I come with an original name it sounds weirder and weirder later.

This is a false statement.

Re: what do you think makes a good username?

no numbers
something catchy and memorable
i'd also have to say no fandom references/memes because they're likely to be used by different people
I guess it kind of depends if you want people to recognize you site to site
something that's not likely to be mistaken for something else ala penisland (pen island)

What does 2070 even mean? I tried to think of the meaning myself but all I could think of was the year you'll probably die, which is a cool idea, but also kind of dark.

on topic: Something you can identify with. If your name is Mylittleponyfan and you don't like my little pony you should probably choose a better name.

Please, call me Thomas.

Re: what do you think makes a good username?

Only thing that stands out is, BE ORIGINAL.  ffs.

If you're name contains: ninja, editor, noob, master (m1 excluded), anything related to minecraft/pokemon... you failed... hard.

Names like Thanel, Hexgon, Octane... they have a sharp sound, and they are easy to remember, I like those.

Re: what do you think makes a good username?

posting once more, but i believe the easiest to remember usernames are the ones that don't need much energy to pronounce

for example, saying xicoatlax not only twists your tongue, but you won't feel like saying it

something like, eughuaghuga, is not only easy, but even people on the verge of death mutter this name
it's blessed, obviously

Re: what do you think makes a good username?

Having a cool backstory

BBMP = BananaButterscotchMaplePancakes

Best way to have pancakes and also the shortest name I liked that Steam allowed.


Names that tell a story BlackDawn, also <colour><noun> produces an alright name generally.

Or random stuff, take a word from this next section of text which is not a language but every word is pronouncable and some neat words lay within - the username can have mystery

▼Hidden text

Also Koya is just a cool word

Re: what do you think makes a good username?

@Jay
Methinks the general (and possibly implied) goal of this thread was to determine patterns, or rules, that can be applied to the creation of a username.

insofar, I haven't met an example name paired not with its example rule.

kthx

thanks HG, HG, HG, HG! anatoly, zumza! zoey!
