How to create an original username

[Crinkle]

Hello McGamer,​

I have noticed many people are having trouble coming up with unique usernames and I feel like MCSG is starting to lose its originality it was once known for. Before you say "lol the hypocrisy is real", I understand I used to have an unoriginal name (Revenqe) and I have struggled in coming up with a unique IGN in the past myself. I have created a list of DOs and DON'Ts to help the community grow a sense of originality, specifically their username.

DON'Ts​

Do not follow trends. This includes:

• "NoHaxJust..." names​
• "DoYouEven..." names​
• Adding "MC" "HD" "YT"​
• Using unnecessary q's and x's to replace certain letters ​
• Using an unnecessary amount of underscores ​
• Adding YouTubers in your name (Such as HuahwiSkillz, SolrFlareHD, or BajanCanadian123)​
• OG names, such as "Strafe" or "Fun", can be considered cool, but is a very general username in the end "original"? This can be debatable. ​

DOs​

Set yourself apart from others.
Think about what makes you different from others. It can be a pastime, something you like, or maybe even something you know. These things can be implemented in your username, and if executed correctly you can create a sweet name that people can remember you as, because in the end your username gives yourself a huge first impression.

Think of it yourself.
Don't grab ideas off other people or ask for usernames, come up with it yourself!

Um... look at your forum name mate, and its not completely "irrelevent" because you just posted a thread on the DO's and Dont's on creating a username and one of your Dont's was having a 'q' in your name, so i just thought id pick you up on that

Okay, I forgot to get my forum name changed. That still doesn't change the fact I specifically went over my name change in the thread.

Hmmm ik, but why would you even post a thread on the Do's and Dont's on creating a username with your forum username still having a 'q' in it? well idc, lets just stop.
