Why Choose a Funny Username?

Creating an online profile is a funny thing. It's you, kind of, but in a highly curated sense. Online identities allow us to present in ways we wish to be perceived and say the things we'd love to say in the real world, but can't, for one reason or another.

It can actually get a little dark, at times. Research confirms the anonymity we enjoy on the web often encourages bad behavior. It's called online toxic disinhibition, and it emboldens people to be meaner than they probably would be in person.

It's not all bad, though. These behaviors can also take a different swing. The benign disinhibition effect is also a thing, and it encourages folks to open up more freely to other users in the virtual community. This kind of environment often fosters genuine connections, and even friendships.

But even with that in mind, breaking the ice is never easy. Fortunately, these types of online exchanges offer an easy way around that: your username. Going by a funny name online allows you to communicate some of your personality right off the bat.

It also helps inform others in the community about what references you value and how your sense of humor syncs up with their own. And that stuff is pretty important to communicate, especially when marketing yourself to unfamiliar audiences.

How to Choose a Hilarious Username for Your Online Accounts

While we love coming up with clever usernames for our friends, we also support all attempts to get there on your own. Below, we've provided a few tips for how to come up with a funny username—one that's not only practical but also represents who you are and the people you want to attract.

Get Creative

Finding creative ways to channel your humor is key when it comes to finding the right username. The more unique, the more likely it is to get others laughing, and the easier it will be interacting with others online. And that type of originality doesn't just lend itself to first impressions. Similar to how we gravitate toward hard-to-guess passwords, your username can help ward off attempts to access your information in ways you wouldn't want happening.

Avoid Special Characters

I know, we just told you to get creative, and when working with limited keyword options, special characters might seem like an easy shortcut. But the problem is these characters can be hard for some folks to recreate or even remember. So while you might think they'll help you stand out, the more likely outcome is that they will make you harder to find.

Replace Vowels

There are a lot of people online. Like, billions of people. And that means there are a lot of ideas out there to compete with. Even if you put in the work and came up with something truly unique, it's possible that it's already been taken. In that case, try replacing the vowels with an "X" or a number. These variations aren't quite as likely to be used up. Some other popular substitutes include "VV'' in place of "W, "S" instead of "Z," and"I" instead of "Y."

Keep It Clean (Enough)

The internet has a pretty high tolerance for R-rated content, but almost all sites have terms of use. Avoid using language that could be considered vulgar and offensive. Not only can this prevent you from accessing the site you want, but it can also turn people off. Instead of making new friends, you could end up walking away with a few new adversaries.
