Nickname (nickname) is a name that a person comes up with in order to use it in the vastness of the global network. In social networks, forums, chats, people very rarely introduce themselves by their real names and surnames, creating an image for themselves that best suits their character, abilities, dreams or desires. Trying to come up with a nickname, many are faced with the fact that it is quite difficult to find something beautiful and original. To make it easier for yourself, take note of a few tips for composing nicknames.
Creating a nickname for social networks: recommendations
It is better to use Latin letters, since not all social networks and other communication systems on the network allow using the Cyrillic alphabet in nicknames.
Special characters should not be used. They will not add beauty, but they will cause doubts in your intelligence among users of social networks. In addition, the nickname will become difficult to read and will not be remembered. The only exceptions are the & sign, which connects words in a long nickname.
It is undesirable to use more than 20 characters. Very long nicknames are poorly remembered. In addition, they are not always accepted by the systems.
Do not use obscene or rude words in a nickname: this will cause rejection of your person among other users. And most importantly, the use of such nicknames is prohibited on social networks.
How to come up with a nickname
The simplest version of a nickname is to use your own name. You can modify it a little to make it look more interesting on the site. For example, instead of the name Eugene, you can write Johnny, John, Jack or Joe, and the name Catherine can be turned into Catherine, Kat. To make the nickname more interesting, and the image more original and expressive, add a suitable word to the resulting name: Jack Sparrow, Captain Jack, Johnny Walker, Injun Joe, Little Cat or Catherine Storm.
In addition, you can read your name in reverse order, rearrange the letters in it in different ways, delete some syllables or add new ones. Here, as an example, it is worth mentioning the pseudonym of the famous singer Ani Lorak, who is the inversion of her name: Carolina.
Surely you have favorite characters from books, movies, songs, games, animation, etc. Why not "borrow" your favorite character's name and use it as a nickname? Here, the scope for imagination is practically unlimited. You can be Pechorin, Gordon Freeman, Mr. Smith or James Bond - choose any.
However, it should be borne in mind that not only you like this character, and therefore such a nickname may be busy. In addition, it is unlikely that you will be pleased to find that you have a lot of "namesakes" on the social network.
If you had a nickname that you liked during your school and college years, you can use it as your social media nickname. You can play it in an interesting way, for example: Quiet Whirlpool, Desperate Professor, Red-haired Beast, etc.
In short, show your imagination - and you can come up with a beautiful nickname that will attract public attention to you. Remember: in the virtual world, people are still greeted by their nickname …
