What do you like/not like in a username?
Mods, if this is the wrong section, my bad :X
The title says it all, really. What usernames do you like, and what makes them sound bad. In my opinion, a little humour is always appreciated, but I think that numbers in usernames generally look a little n00by (unless they're a reference to something, like 42) |
Any username is cool to me so long as it's readable. If it's a bunch of foreign signs that my computer doesn't recognise, I tend to get a bit ticked off.
|
Any numbers or strange characters tend to look really noobish in my eyes.
|
What I do like in a typical Username is something that I could remember easily.
Something with random numbers or a username which enables me to copy and paste the username tends to be very annoying. |
There are some random ones out there.
I like the usernames that I can actually read... |
I really hate numbers in usernames too~
I'm really starting to wonder about my own username, it looks quite long. When I can, I think I might shorten it. But it will still have something about a houndoom. |

I like the usernames that abuse some sort of even, person or pokemon, as long as its not rude then its fine...And also i don't like the foreign sort of letters alli could understand onmy old laptop was a bunch of squares [][][][] |

Btw, don't change your username. I like it ~ But if you have to. Keep Cheesy in it. :D |
Lolz, yeah, Numbers are pretty noobish.
I don't personally, but people tend to hate dash signs (-) In a name like mine. I've gotten critisized for it. Lolz I don't like those names in Chinese/Japanese, either. Mostly Because I don't know what it's saying. |

That is what I do if I am really that bored to find out what they actually mean. |
I hate numbers. Odd characters can be cute, but are annoying to type.
|
I like usernames that make me laugh, such as my own
|

It didn't make me laugh :/ |
I'm really picky with usernames. I dislike most of them. I only like them short and sensible.
...One thing I cannot stand is numbers. :x Something about them is just... annoying. :x I hate them. |
I dislike 'sentence' names in general, but I have to admit some can end up cool.
And unlike many others, I have nothing against numbers, as long as they're not excessive. |
I really hate usernames with loads of numbers in them, and I hate ones that are too cliche. Oh, and I hate usernames with multiple words that are squished together to make one word, with all the words being lower-cased. Single lower-cased words are fine, but if there is more than one word in a username, I prefer that it be grammatically correct.
This all coming from the editor's daughter. |
Jesus, there are so many haters here. Numbers are fine as long as they aren't excessive. Take my username for example. I have 27 at the end. Now, some of you may criticize me for it and think that a random number generator came up with it when plain old 'Jlizard' was taken, but it wasn't. It has great significance to me both on the internet and in my everyday life. Maybe try to find out why the numbers are there before you "Callz out teh n00bxxors" for have a name like that. [/rant]
Now, any username is fine by me, as long as it isn't super long (meaning upwards of like 25 char.) and doesn't have any suuuppper special symbols. Something like Pokéman is fine by me because one, I can type it with my computer and 2, I can just refer to him as Pokeman. However, anything from Wingdings or a symbol that cannot be made by using alt, option, control or command sorta bugs me (notice my name change =p). |
Any username with Lucario in it (especially with "master" or numbers after it) normally means that the user is not good at battling/admitting that he/she is not good at battling. Not always but...you'd be surprised. It's like the Charizard of this generation. Ugh.
Otherwise, I'm tolerant of usernames unless they're just super ridiculous, but there aren't that many of them. Even numbers aren't that bad unless they're used in excess. |
One or two numbers are fine, to me ( I used to be Mew20, myself. ) However, things like naruto1234567 or pika77897243chu? Yeah. Hate 'em. :|
I really don't mind most usernames, except for those types. Also ones with characters that I can't see on my Laptop, which... I think there aren't any now, so yay. |3 |
I like usernames with meaning(and a little humor). Not like the one I seen, which looks like a a bunch of Morse codes.
|
I don't really like user-names with countless numbers in them nor do I prefer extremely long ones that has been squeezed into one word.
Some of them, I can tolerate, but others tick me off. |
I like short, simple ones. Humourous ones can be ok but then everyone has different definitions of what humour is, so that's one that's open to debate.
As has been mentioned, numbers/symbols etc are ok as long as they're not excessive. But meh, usernames honestly don't annoy me all that much as I don't read into them really. I don't like mine much, and it will be changed to something else at the earliest opportunity (Next month, I believe). |
I don't like numbers in most of them... ESPECIALLY ones with their Diamond and Pearl friend code in them (I mean SERIOUSLY).
"Strange" characters in a name are fine by me, as long as they don't over do it. I also hate people who overuse decoration characters like x\\!!!~*~*~*~PRETTY POKEMON MASTER~*~*~*~!!!//x And people who desperately try to think of a cool name like FIRE SNOW PSYCHIC EON MASTER Some that have a reference to Pokemon are pretty bad. I don't like Pokemon Master [insert crappy name here]. MILLIP! ALL CAPS and a l l s p a c e d o u t and aLtErNaTiNg CaSeS are annoying to me. And any username that was thought of by me. They all suck. /done lol |

Also, readable words are nice. No one knows how to pronounce Xmmmagyo or something like that. |
I hate when people just steal names from other people who have already existed. Just who do they think they are anyway?
