No offense meant, but when I see a name with numbers or one that references a popular video game/manga/anime/&c character, I generally assume immaturity.

If the numbers actually have a meaning, then it's okay. But if it's just a random string of numbers like 4 8 15 16 23 42 that mean absolutely nothing, then it looks a little n00bish.

I simply add "_20" in my name because "Peter" is ALWAYS busy on every forum.
Also, prejudice sucks.
That goes for most users on this site, you know.Originally Posted by Dr Aum
I don't ever use numbers in any of my own usernames, but I don't feel one way or another about other people that do. I've met some cool people with very generic names before, so I don't think about it much.
No opinion. I never really thought about it. Why should I?
WinLike I said, I'm really biased about numbers in usernames. I usually don't even pay attention to the people who have them in their usernames. (Jesse1 being one of the exceptions) Man I'm shallow.
I just needed an excuse to exercise my x-quoting fingers :chef:

It shouldn't be allowed. Only children use numbers in their names.
(I've often wondered what people thought of my numbers. I've been using the same username since I was 13 years old, so I'm kind of iffy about dropping them. Sometimes I use rotothirteen instead. :P)
The numbers look a little neater when you capitalize the first letter of your name.
I try not to be prejudiced against people with numbers, but if it looks untidy I do sometimes. It's a habit I'm trying to break.
I could name myself P3t#rR-da-m4573r!11 and still discuss perfectly well and behave in a mature way.
Not really.

If the number is actually part of the name, as in, having a significance and not just being randomly placed there, it's fine.
But otherwise I agree with you Jesse, it does make the name impersonal if it doesn't have a purpose. I've always preferred usernames wihout pointlessly place numbers, though it makes no difference as to the personality of the person behind the name.
Numbers in my name
I've always seen using numbers in your name from two different perspectives.

All you did there was take a video-game character's name and add numbers to it to either make it original or because you couldn't think of anything else. But I've seen people with things like
Tonresque123
as fine. Why? Because they made the name up, so it's not like they're adding the numbers so that they won't seem too unoriginal due to putting a game character as their username. But that's just my personal opinion on it. I've seen it so much now that I've begun to care a bit less. Though, unless it was a true part of the name (like The 13th Member, or something like that. Not a good example, but I can't think of much else better, except for roto13-ness), you still wouldn't catch me doing it.
I preferred crashNUMBERS to chaos.prophecy.crash.

RIKKUYUNA69 IS A PRETTY UBER NAME IMHO.
