[Guide] How to create a good IGN!

[Aidan]

So, I have seen a lot of people attempting to make a good IGN, since the name changes which came out a few months ago. A lot of people have succeeded in this, but some are failing miserably, this is a guide to help you make a good IGN.

~ First ~
Make sure your name doesn't have any useless numbers. For example if you want the name "Bob" but someone already has it, do not make it "Bob1" or "Bob2" Instead find another word to add onto it. Like: "BobTheRandy" or "BobThePvPer." Random numbers signifies a lack of creativity which people in the Minecraft community to do really like. Also make sure not to use any significant numbers. For example if your name is Bob and you were born in 2001 dont make your name "Bob2001" this will give people private information you dont want them to have and will lead to people thinking you are young and "noobish."
Bad Examples:

• Bob2001
• Bob37498
• AmazingPvPer1293

Good Examples:

• BobTheGod
• xBob
• iAmAmazing

~ Second ~
Make sure to capitalize the beginning of new words. For example you do not want to have multiple words in your name with no capitalizations like "bobthegamer" or "timmydoesgamespvp" This makes your name very hard to read and frankly annoys people.
Bad Examples:

• bobrandygamer
• helloiamboblol
• iamthebestever

Good Examples:

• BobRandyGamer
• HelloIAmBobLol
• IAmTheBestEver

~ Third ~
If you are having trouble coming up with a good name, use something around you and take inspiration from things you love. For example when I was trying to come up with a name I looked around my room and saw my favorite hoodie. It was blue and made me come up with my YouTube/Old IGN "TheBlueHoodie."
Bad Examples:

• IAmGod
• HiLol
• ursoawesome1203

Good Examples:

• YellowBanana
• TheBlackwidow
• MySexyKeyboard

~ Fourth ~
If you are a tryhard on MCSG or any other server, make sure to have short names WITHOUT Qs. For example make your name something short like "Hoodie" or "iPhone." But not like "MyiPhoneIsSoCoolOmg." Also try to avoid excessive Qs, like CqrShqckBqck because it os overly - tryhard.
Bad Examples:

• HelloMyNameIsBob
• WhqtIsYourNqme
• WoahThatIsSoCoolOmg

Good Examples:

• Ceroria Ceroria
• Dusk Dusk
• Kat Kat

~ Fifth ~
Try to keep your personal life out of it. For example dont have your name be like "IHave100DogsLmao" or "MyNameIsJoshBobby." Instead you can have your first name or your pet's name but nothing too personal.
Bad Examples:

• HeyIHave100Cats
• ILiveOn4thStreet
• IWasBornIn2015

Good Examples:

• Cat
• 4thStreet
• 2015

I will probably add more later

I feel as if my forum username/old IGN is somewhat relevant to this quote.

This is an excellent guide! Well done!

I also suggest finding or creating a name that has some sort of background or meaning to you personally. I find those to be the best.
