Oh, anything that isn't written properly. It's funny how people try to be unique by using capital letters in the wrong places, non-standard letters, numerals and other abominations, when it's actually more unique to see an username that is properly written.
In what kind of mind does a nick like "" seem better than just "Shadow Wolf" anyway?

Not that this pisses me off, but it can get hard to read sometimes, so I just call whoever had the long, weird name "******" and they know that i'm referring to them.
I have one exception to this, and it's the name I use on some sites, "ALthEiXm", because it is a combination of my name (Alex) and atheism. It does not roll off the tounge though, but at least there's a reason for it.

You mean like that? Yea, I hate those people. So unnecessary.
Why not just Sniper Killer?

In the mind of someone who couldn't get the original name.MurderousToaster said:
(Sorry about the Double Post.)
what about the Names that try to come off as cool but end up being lame and cheesy like this one guy I saw who's name was DoomFlame. Made my day...
I hate that too. I like to screw with them, though, and say every letter in their name. It pisses them off so much. XD
I use Xs and Zs a lot in my usernames but only because it's something a bit unusual
Just things like Dezimo or mainly Dexiro, i don't think they're too bad.
I never understood people with long strings of random numbers like "98312" or an unpronouncable sequence of letters like "xXoO>>ZQTR" or whatever xD
They just make the username less memorable and harder to read.
For that matter random capital letters only ever made a name harder to read as well :/

Oh I know what it means. I just think that ostentatious is a better choice:MurderousToaster said:
"Intended to attract notice and impress others"
I don't think these guys are trying to be original, or seem important, but are trying to attract notice and impress people.
But that's me. I suppose pretentious works, though.
I generaly hate anyone online with L33T or SNIPER in their name. Mainly because they are either crap or campers. Or both.
