How do you manage to choose usernames for different sites/games?

I can’t do it, I don’t have that kind of creativity. I spent the whole afternoon trying to create two nicknames for two games and nothing sufficiently good came out.

The worst part is that I don’t want to spend money on a game and end up with a bad nickname; that would bother me to the point of wanting to abandon the game account and lose money, as has already happened to me.

I tried using my name but it was already taken. I tried varying it in several ways to make it at least minimally aesthetic, but all those versions were also taken. Only the bad nickname variations were left, and that’s what motivated me to come to this forum and ask for help xD

PLEASE GIVE ME TIPS, PLEASE

Ideally, you should choose one and never change it again. I like to use my last name/first name together with the initials of my city.

I’m afraid of doxxing with this thing of putting the city together with the nick.

I also want one that involves my first name, do you have any more ideas on how I can vary it (since most likely just my name (as a nick) will already be taken)?

I wanted to use just my first name but it’s already taken. Any idea how I can vary the nickname without making it ugly?

8

What’s your first name? Is it very common?

9

yes, it’s common

how did you choose your Steam username? the one that shows up at the top, not the one that appears on the profile (and that doesn’t have any restriction about name repetition)

and email, how do you go about choosing it?

11

then your name + a flaw of yours
Or
Your name + du + something you like

‘-’

it’s really hard, damn

I wanted something neutral, that I could look at and it wouldn’t bother me. Something that involved my first name.

If my name were, I don’t know, Arthur, what kind of nick would you recommend (nothing too fancy)?

The best is first name+last name+year of birth. Nobody uses email anymore. It’s more something professional nowadays or for receiving confirmations. If you use [email protected] it will look bad in your job interview. Nobody needs to have more than 1 email.

But try ChatGPT too to get some ideas

16

Do you play ANY game using first name + last name as your nickname? Don’t you get paranoid?

No, because lots of people in Brazil must have my first and last name lol Marcos Silva

My last name is ugly but it’s uncommon, so that doesn’t work.
