Naming things is the hardest part of everything.
That’s why I’m never going to have children.
How do I come up with a good username?

Just pick the 15th most common name of the previous year. Then your kid will be fine.
Turun@feddit.de 1 year ago
This is legit a really good move. Not too common, so you need a nickname because there will always be five children with the same amen on the playground. But also common enough that they will very rarely have to spell it out.
iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just name your kids after your
richestfavorite relatives and wait for that sweet sweet inheritance dosh to come your way

Depends on what you’ll be using it for. ie: ‘UrGranny’ could be fun for games but it might not work as intended on OF.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
“UrGranny” would definitely work for OF.

a cool 3-letter username can be neat
Found out when I tried to get a domain name for my initials. Very fucking expensive.
axe@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It sure is.
lapislazuli@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Just don’t add any random numbers to the name, which I see you haven’t done, so I think you’re good.
Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, everyone hates random numbers… right?
SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Just toss some stuff you enjoy together. It’s not like you only ever get one- I’ve had a few over the years.
Mine is just a combo of two mythological figures that also have to do with stars/outer space. I like Sci-Fi, and I like mythologies.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Yeah, this. The 2 usernames I currently use both include types of Japanese mythological creatures, and before that I used basically whatever was on my desk with some random numbers
SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I originally tried to just use Orion, and it was almost always taken.
So SolOrion was originally a fallback choice that just kind of took over.

One more vote for mythological inspiration!

My nickname got me ‘holly bell toad’. My name got me ‘wacky officer’.
I think I’d take wacky officer honestly lol.

Froggy prophet.
PotatoKat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I dig my result and it will be my future username for something one day
Bruce_Wayne@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I will save mine should I ever become a vigilante or something like that.
jasep@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Usernames aren’t good or bad. It can be “you” or it can be anything. Just follow your heart or your gut.
ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Thanks I’ll follow this advice
FUCKER@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
A good username is what you like.
Turun@feddit.de 1 year ago
Huh, are you tagged with @@Fucker@lemmy.dbzer0.com then? That probably breaks a lot of clients lol.

What’s wrong with the one you made this post under?
ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Nothing, I just want another username that I use to separate my personal accounts (like discord, Snapchat, etc.) from my online accounts (lemmy, Reddit, etc.)
nocturne213@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Use bitwarden’s username generator.

You evil genius. I’ve been just keyboard mashing for recent usernames, but I like this version.
Critical_Insight@feddit.uk 1 year ago
I ask chatGPT. Just give it a theme and it’ll start stitchin random words together
ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
That’s a great idea! I’ll try I out.
objectionist@lemmy.world 1 year ago
i find that whenever i’ve done that it just comes up with some philosophical shit that doesn’t work as a username
morphballganon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Use something that puts a silly picture in the head of whoever reads it.
AnIntenseMoist@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Or a weird concept.

Blizzard@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
In that case it could be Provoked Gamer’s Friend.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
Or possibly Provoking Gamer
ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I wanna have two usernames, one for personal and one for online so I don’t want people to be able to google search my username and see everything. I do like this username though lol.

A hex number that is meaningful to you.
Or just find a D&D name generator and use that, idk.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
Combine your pet names and be sure to make it look extra special with the “display name” field on your profile.
