New username.

So, I am looking for a new username and I have tried dozens upon dozens of generators and all of them are just... *sigh* God awful. So, I was hoping maybe some people here on the Wolfire forums would be able to suggest a cool new username to me.

I usually use a random generator and click until I stumble over something that has a nice ring to it.
Didn't use that method on this account, though. I really should have...

I used my first internet username ever.
Back when I was about 13, I started playing Runescape and couldn't come up with a username that wasn't taken, so I closed my eyes and pressed a random and key and thought to myself "What can I do with the letter K that no one else has?" and viola.

Haha that's so awesome!
I have almost the same story, except I think I mashed a lot of keys before I arranged them into something "unique". And then I added a Z to the end, because no one ever uses a Z.

Cue me finding out, ~5 years later, about the Spanish surname "Perez" and the Hebrew surname "Perez" and the more rare first name "Perez"... :lol: At least the Endoperez combination is unique.

My brother came up with 'Timbles' when I was 7 years old, and I first got Steam; the name I used before was 'Chimps Ahoy!'. But ever since, the username Timbles has stuck with me. I did use the name 'Dytherius' for a little while, but it didn't feel right.

I wanted "Variant Phoenix" (I used to play A LOT of Hybrid on my 360) But decided against it.

Here I am.

Considering that my first language is spanish, I've always read your name with that in mind.

About 6 years ago, I was signing up for an online gaming website (Miniclip [give me a break, it was 6 years ago]) and I was having the hardest time thinking of a cool username, I though of "The Master" but of course, that was already taken. I eventually settled on "The Mastaa" and after a little while, and several slight changes as I signed up to different things, it became "Dammasta". It is now my name I use for pretty much everything.

My name's Jackson, and I guess I was just really stumped for a name, so without thinking I just added "the awesome" and cut out the "son," because it just had a better flow to it like that. I really hate this name though; it's my Reddit name as well and I wish I didn't already have such a history with that account so I could start over with a better name. I'm known elsewhere as Guddha, though, which I'm more proud of. My friends and I were in some room and had to pick temporary names, and we decided to come up with cheese spiritual figures (Cheesus Christ, the Dairy Lama, Guddha), and it stuck.

Anybody noticed that there's this guy asking for suggestions at the top of the username origin stories?

Retarded username is one who was clearly uninspired.
