For all your username creating needs.


The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.

Your first name would work if it's available (example: my alt, Charles). Or, just anything reasonably intelligent sounding without any numbers.

My username would be CFC if I followed this rule. That name just doesn't sound cool at all.

I don't believe so. I was 13 when I made this name anyway and I still like it more than 6 and 1/2 years after I first made it.

Ask hungariansupermarket. That guy's username is about as original and funny as it can get. His username makes me laugh whenever I see him post on the BBS. Maybe you could take a tip from him?

If you have a bunch of X's and O's in your name, with something INTIMIDATING in it.

Like XxxXxDemon666xXxxX -NOW THAT'S COOL!


I RESPECT YOUR OPINION.

There's actually a flash about this. It says pick a random adjective, an oddly matched noun, and have a rondom series of numbers after it. I'm content with mine though.

My name. Short, but can have many sense. Like...

Can-head, the Can could be for canadian, or just for a can. And the Head, could be a head made of can or the head of a Canadian. So many posssibility, no clear answer.

Yay for my name

Is mine considered a good username?


My opinions are so useless, I don't even listen to them.

an adjective and a noun, both need to mean something to you, or just something original.
