Sooner or later, every Internet user needs to register with one or another social network. And although it is initially assumed that you indicate your real name and surname, not everyone is ready for such a step. If you decide not to reveal your identity to anyone, come up with a nickname.
Of course, Vasya
Some social media platforms do not allow users to use explicitly fictitious names. But in most cases, you can communicate on the forum of your favorite movie, computer game or register on a frequently visited site under a fictitious name. Which one to choose?
There is always a great temptation to give yourself the name of some famous character. For example, Bond, Frodo or Sailor Moon. However, keep in mind that on a thematic site, such names may have been taken for a long time. And if moderation does not imply the use of only unique names for communication, you can become one of the ten Bonds or Frodo34, which, you see, is less honorable. Try experimenting and choose some less popular but interesting name. If you really want to stay Bond, you can come up with some derivative of this nickname. Let's say "Nikolai-Bond" or "Chief Bond". In general, do not hesitate to give free rein to your imagination.
Embellish a little
Now a little about your name on the social network, which requires reality. Yes, you cannot call yourself "Pope" there, but you have the right to change your own name at your discretion. For example, Anna Ivanova can, if she wishes, change her data to Anyuta Ivanova, Anna 777 Ivanova or Anyutka Ivanova. Of course, you can call yourself Agrippina Ivanova, no one will check the authenticity of passport data on the social network, but remember the purpose of creating the page. Social networks are primarily a tool for finding friends. And if you enter a fictitious name, it will be quite difficult to find you.
No aggression
Remember that a social media name, fictitious or real, is sort of your personal brand and business card. And it is on him that they pay attention in the first place. You should not start pages with names that have a sharp negative connotation of any events, views or works, and even more so, calls for violence. “I hate Pushkin” may sound quite harmless, but who knows, suddenly you offend someone's feelings with this?
