A new nickname

[Fric]

Hey boys and girls,

 

Since I suck at making stuff up, I'm interested if anyone could help me with picking a new nickname I could use online and in games. My previous nicknames usually suffer from not sounding that good and often being hard to actually pronounce.

I'm looking for something that is:

 

• easy (-ish) to remember;
  would be easy to pronounce in English over comms and such (!!!);
  even if the name is not that easy - it could be easily called in a shortened name that makes sense - e.g. Silverman or in short - Silver etc;
  would at least little bit stand out and is not too generic (e.g. John, Marine123, Warrior123 etc.);
  wouldn't be too game specific that only works in a single game or single style of games (e.g. JamesRaynor (makes sense only in sci-fi) or WarriorPriest123 (makes sense only in warcraft style games) etc.)

How about "Bishop_FezDog_"?

If you really want one that fits you perfectly, you'll probaly have to think it up by yourself or maybe ask someone close to you who knows you well. What I did for mine was just to look around in my room and combine the two first things I saw into one name, and then gave myself a cool title because I'm vain like that. And what's wrong with "Fric" anyway? "Fricles"? "Fricleman"? I like it.

Or you could just call yourslef "Dick Rockard", that's a good one too.

Let me describe to you the process of which I use to come up with nicknames.

 

#1. Create list of things you like or things about yourself, can be nouns, verbs, adjectives, whatever.

#2. Select a few and put them into a thesaurus.

#3. Find some sick as synonyms.

#4. Slap your favourite words together.

#5. ???

#6. Profit.

 

EXAMPLE

Words; Silver, Flow, Curious

-> Thesaurus ->

Bright/Argent, Flood/Flux, Inquisitive

-> Favourite words ->

 

BrightFlux.

[Psychotic Ninja]

For me, I like ninjas (mythological ones, like Naruto), and I thought it would be funny if a ninja was also psychotic. So my advice, think of something you like, and think if there's something else that would make that thing funny, or an oxymoron of that thing.

I've always been rather inordinately pleased with myself for coming up with my own username, based on a quotation from a German artist named Tim Berresheim on his particular drive for making digital images. Going the oxymoronic route or just jamming an unrelated adjective to an inappropriate noun can be a easy way to conjure up some memorable names, "EgoRaptor" or the Jim Stirling parodying "Jam Starling" spring to mind. I'm also fond of usernames seemingly normal-ish first names followed by a absurdly macho surname, I recall a sporadic user on the last.fm forums who went by the name Rex_Thundercock. Have you considered vowel alliteration? Anything that plays with a e i o u can be fun: "Ava Eva Iva Ova Uva", "Fae Fee Fie Foe Fue" etc.

[pirateslifeforme]

When I chose my user name, it was because of what was fresh in mind. I had just seen Pirates 5, so naturally that was in my head Just be spontaneous and see what pops out:

 

coffeefirstthing

needmoretoast

ihatetrains

whereismykey

 

etc.

 

Something that's on your mind

I think I've just come up with your new nickname Fric.
