For a while I was using the same username for everything, but recently I’ve been trying to mix it up.
Context: Currently picking my new username for Signal and I’m not sure what to put. I don’t want spam, and I use Signal for privacy, but I could also do something nice. First name? Randomly generated?
i imagine you won’t have an issue with spam in signal considering the .## they add to every username.
But in general the more distinct it is the less likely you’ll have someone nagging you.
If you want to avoid building a footprint of similar usernames my favorite is just switching out some letters (o’s to u’s or a’s to e’s stuff like that) or taking out specific letters entirely (ex: ottr)
i put in all the brainpower i can muster and think for about 2 hours before just choosing a random roman god/dess or something stupid that i think sounds cool or has to do with something i like, because i can’t think of anything original. like if i had to make one right now it’d probably be uhhh superfluidhydrabreath
if i were queer enough i’d probably change that to supergenderfluid, but i’m not
games like stellaris are the most challenging to me solely because they require you to make up a lot of names, and i don’t wanna use the auto generated names because that’s stupid and for cowards. often times i spend more time making up names or designing my characters than i do playing the game the day i start
Not sure how I picked this one it was the name for a throwaway account I forgot about for like 10 years. Nowadays I like the randomly generated ones that are like random adjective with a random animal noun. Like AngryRaccoon or UglyBear
