- Look to social media. If you have a social media account, you can use the same username as your social media username (if it is not taken), but you may not want to do so if you are a famous user.
- Think creatively. Have any passions, including computers, languages, companies, etc.? Choose a username suitable for your interests.
- Don’t choose a username that promotes another business, flags you as a vandal, impersonates an admin, or is just plain annoying. Those get blocked quickly.
