What do you like in an online/user name?

[crono_logical]

It's also good in that it forces people to support a better character set than Windows-123134781657852 in their browser/whatnot if they want stuff to render right

[The Man]

that's an incredibly valid point xD

[Fuzakeru]

. . . as long as I can tell who I am among the ranks then the name works.

[Tokki Wartooth]

Of course, it's not the name that matters, but how popular the person is.

Yes, that. Or the name of an existing character is okay, but original is better. Or lame is better.

Usernames I use are:
ShlupQuack
Speckled Donkey
Girl
Plum (from Chobits)

I prefer simplicity in a screen name.

For me, I prefer that and a name that people don't end up misspelling in every other post. =P

Well if you really want to see some good names, sign on AIM for about an hour and wait for some random person to IM you asking who you are, they'll have the best names like...

Hottieboy2024
anglegrl692394
sk8rboy39583042084
britneyspear23984759823
sephritoh3920
eminembfer394934

I mean, all of those names have got to get like an award or some thing 'cause they are original and creative.

Plum! I love Chobits. I have a Chobits name on Yahoo. All of my names are -
LadySteph - LadySt3ph ( LJ ) - LadyDreamSprite ( AIM ) - then all my Yahoo names . . . curious_chii - vash_stalker_meryl - sephiroths_corrupted_angel
Hehe. Thank god for anime.

[Yamaneko]

I've always been partial to dictator names.

[Reason]

Any names with a hint of originality and NO numbers or underscores. Those get my votes.

[White Raven]

Heh, after much thought and consideration, I think that I'll try out another name after I'm out of the tourney....and it is original and easy to memorize.

[fire_of_avalon]

I don't like my underscores so much anymore. Someday I may change my username here to my AIM handle, but that day is not today.

[Enoki]

I like one word names, no under scores no numbers, and no recognizable names like popular game characters or people. I personally got my name form an interview Shonen Jump did with Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto. In the interview he says that when naming the character of Kakashi he thought of naming him Enoki (chinese nettle tree). I thought the name sounded prety cool so I adopted it as my internet personality.


Im sure you all wanted to know that.

Why not? Any admin'd change it for you.

[Linus]

They have to be a Peanuts character that understands human nature.
