I guess this is gaming discussion, so I'm throwing it on here. Anyways, here's my problem. I am terribly uncreative when it comes to user names and such. I want to change my PSN user name and start over, because I currently do not like the one I have. So I am asking you people here on the escapist to help me out, and maybe I can get rid of the horribleness of my user name. I'll give out some information about my interests and stuff, like for example something to do with Morpheus, or anyone else from Neil Gaimans the Sandman (love it), and maybe you could help me out. My other interests include, but not limited to, kickboxing, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, old school videogames, Space Invader Zim (or other Jhonen Vasquez works), and some other stuff that I can't think of right now. Any help would be appreciated because I am really stumped. Also, it is perfectly ok to make fun of my current psn name. Or this one on escapist, I didn't think much when I made it either.

How about "ImUnimaginative" LOL JK
Seriously try to find one that describes you. And even if you can't try something else. Like a name of a character you love. And don't worry I'm sure it'll come to you. Take your time and don't overanalyze it.

Ooh, or a hidden Cuss word/sexual innuendo works, How about HarryGonads44 or CravenMoorHead123 or HughGRection12IN. I'd get a giggle from it. :)

lol, I don't know if I wanna do a cuss word or sexual innuendo.....I actually laughed at "ImUnimaginative". I guess this is something I gotta figure out for myself. Maybe I'll just jam a bunch of characters i like together like SpaceInvaderArthurFordGirMorpheusStPierre or something.....or maybe not lol

I did KarGas on PSN and KarGas360 on the 360 (because some chump an XBL took KarGas...) Try these options:

1)Use a nickname of yours
2)Use something you like and no more than three numbers after
3)Just think of a cool thing that uses 1 adjective and 1 noun (i.e. SneakingNinja; CrouchingTiger; Hidden Dragon; AwesomeSauce)

Those are the basics.
Also avoid these in names:

1)Random combinations of # or letters
2)Having over 3ish numbers after your name (Hard to tell friends what your username is)
3)Using a phrase as a name (It makes it hard for people to try to figure out what to call you)
4)Using a character name from something (It's just kind of lame)
5)Using your actual name (that's just bad)
6)Putting a bumch of x or symbols around your name just so you can get the name you want. (i.e. xXxXBobXxXx; _![Bacon]!_) (It's just dumb)
7)Using curse words or innuendo. People will know, and report you. (I would)

Keep in mind:
1)What people will call you (who don't know you actual name) online (I'm usually known as Kargas or just Kar)
2)If it will be easy fro you to remember
3)If it will be easy for people to type it in / remember to friend you.

And that's about it.

For some reason I came up with KilljoyStew from that advice. I don't even know why that popped in my head

What about something involving Cyberdemon. I always liked that thing.
ooo, Doom reference, contradicts zer0kevins advice though....not that he's the all knowledge of usernames or anything lol. maybe....CYBERCHOWDER! Or maybe I should eat before I think anymore on usernames, apparently I'm hungry. Or maybe I should keep trying to post stuff and use whats on this Captcha thing, right now I got SmacconManory.... I am not even sure if those are actual words.

No I like Cyberchowder, but using the captcha is also a good idea.

If you want to gain +50 respect points from everyone that sees you online, just have it be a single word that starts with a capital letter and has no others, with nothing else (numbers, Xs, symbols) anywhere. And if you think you thought of a clever/funny one, take another look at it and be sure it doesn't make you look like a douche. And don't have anything involving sniper, stealth, ninja, awesome, epic, etc., or a random combination of adjective+noun, like GlossyBacon, or MaliciousBrick, those just make you seem like you filled out a Mad Libs.

TowelTheif. If you're a fan of the Hitch Hikers guide, thats the pinnacle right there. Possibly, PerfectlyNormalBeastSandwhich. Or just ShaperofDreams. Mix the capitols about how you will.

Can you even put only one letter? Isn't there a minimum?

I mean no capital letters other than the first. Unless it's two words.

All these names are awesome.

EDIT: Actually, any enemies from the DOOM series would be awesome names.

Hmm those are something to think on, although PerfectlyNormalBeastSandwich is too long I think. Which is saddening, because I like that one, or some variant of it.

That name is actually pretty awesome.

Mine are Flevance and Zacktastic.
lol, I am now KilljoyStew, because it was not taken. I tried MostlyHarmless, but I guess that was too close a reference to Hitchhikers Guide. Now I just have to figure out how to get my save files over
