Avoid the usage of numbers. It simplifies things immensely.
Additionally, don't use large names like mine. Something short and sweet, monosyllabic or dualsyllabic is better. A friend of mine named Steven simply reverses his name and makes it Nevets.
Stevo actually would be pretty cool just by itself.
If it's already taken, include part of your first name and an underscore, like Jerry_Stevo or something

For me, usernames tend to be actual names. Not realistic modern-day names, but names a character might have in a video game, book or movie. For example 'Gralian' was the name of my undead rogue in World of Warcraft. Why did i start using these names as usernames? Funny story behind that; it's actually because i've always seen names you give to characters in a game you're playing or book you're writing always feel like pseudonyms for the player or author. In my case, anyway. This is because when i play my role in a game or write characters for my stories, the characters nearly always tend to be an extension of my psyche. They are manifestations of different parts of me, like they represent different values and opinions. They are the representation of my mental and emotional conflicts. [sup] No, i'm not crazy for having multiple personae.[/sup] and as such my online handles tend to be an extension of this. My online identity is... different to the real me in the real world. It's almost like we're two different people, and so my username reflects this - it's the name given to the 'other me', the shadow of the true self.
... Philosophising aside, that's how i choose my usernames. Pretty sure that's not how it works for most people, but at least you got a fun little anecdote out of it, right?

You know, I have no idea why I chose my username...
It's kind of annoying actually since a nest is an inanimate object and people don't know how to shorten my username in order to refer to me.
Oh well.

Um... can't they just say Nest?Raven said:
Or maybe RN (I'm sometimes referred to as AT, or FT when I use my other user name).
I suppose they could, but no-one ever has... Got called Nesty once, that was eerie...AccursedTheory said:

That shot would make a great caption contest entry...Gralian said:Reminds me of the character Nesto from Venetica. A most hilarious name, if ever there was one. Sometimes, i just love low-budget titles.Raven said:
In my case, I basically just put two things I like together. Pretty simple and the results can work well. I don't think mine is too bad despite lack of creativity and I'm pretty sure theres at least one other person with the name on some other forum I don't go to. So... results may vary on that method.
Edit: and oh yes numbers are not great if they are just tacked on the end like yours.

Avoid the letter x, numerous hyphens, underscores, something that looks like it is a noise a radar would make typed out, stuff that is overly dramatic, numerals and random ass capitalization.
So no -_-XXXThE_GoD_Of_ThE_NeThErWoRlDs_XtRnAxC'HuTlxLXXX89765-_-, and you should be fine.
