    I had typed Potential-Monkey, and gone through the whole process only to realise too late that the max was 15 characters and it cut the y off the end...

    I'm not too fond of a username that's too hard to say. Too much effort.

    It'd be a great reality show.

    Obviously I only chose my user name out of a sad longing to return to my 30's, my hair, my waistline. As my mother often says "the only waves in your hair are the ones goodbye!"

    It's catchy, distinctive and memorable, but if you start posting about the darkness and the pain of life man, it could suddenly seem much more emo.

    It has a nice rhythm to it, and also sounds delightfully filthy without being overtly dirty, giving it a wonderful sense of mystery.

    I like usernames that are a statement of fact.

    I like usernames that stick to their convictions. :)

    I think I first started using this username back in 1998. Although it didn't become my main one until a bit later. I saw it written in a very old dictionary when I was a child and it kind of stuck with me. The problem is there's a more popular spelling and people keep thinking I've spelt it wrong and correcting me! But I'm happy with this version. Although I'm beginning to think it might be cursed! I post the most innocuous things and that seems to fill people with endless rage!

    Maybe I'll just go back to lurking!

    I don't really pay attention to usernames, though ones that are just your real-life name + number are pretty boring.

    Also, thanks to the anagram website posted earlier I've discovered that an anagram of Fluorescence is Once Curse Elf. That sounds so bad-ass I may need to change my username :pac:

    It is a slow process if I manage to avoid all those possibilities as portrayed in the excellent documentaries that are the Final Destinations series.

    I would have thought everyone would be a number by now and names would have been a relic of the past. I've already changed my name to "1" in anticipation as it will automatically make me the leader of any future fascist regime.

    Aren't there enough prejudices in the world without inventing new ones?

    It's hard to invent prejudices. For me, I don't choose to have an initial dislike of a username, it's just a feeling.

    It's more a case of new social and technological developments leading to new things to be prejudiced about.

    Drunkards, me moon!



    I don't like usernames with "Lord" in them, e.g. Dark Lord1985, LordofEvil etc. Either comes across as nerdy/emo or like the user has a superiority complex or both. On the other hand, I like all usernames that start with "Captain". "Captain" just seems to me to strike the right balance between formal and jokey. There's quite a lot of them on AH.

    Or anything too coy and girly, I automatically assume the poster is a halfwit.
