How do you choose your username for your account? What will you do if you cannot find your username that you want to create? when creating a username, I use to search for the option which starts with my name.. so it will be easy for me to remember and also I will be more happy that my name got some recognition... If I could not find the username I put some other letters adding to my name to get my specified username... with my name... For example, my gmail username is "arunnmails", one "n" is added to get my specified username.. but, in mylot, my username is "arunmails", no need to add anything as I got that, I(Arun) mails to someone... This is how I create my username, what are the techniques you use while creating the username?

I do not need any technique for creating a user name. I use my name, plus a 3-letter abbreviation my name.

Well about user names, what comes in mind, that's the one I will use. But i don't use all the same, it will be very easy to detect specially for hackers to do their job. So it is important not to be at ease giving out information and details here.

I am a Chinese girl, and my English name is coly, so I start my usename with coly, then I thought it is too short, then I add the letters "df", because my hometown is a town called danfeng.

I used two of my different nicknames to create my username. A lot of people call me K.Y. because I am from the state of Kentucky, and a number of people have been calling me Kid, well, ever since I was a kid. Then, when I was voc/tech school I used the form Kidd with the two d's for a nickname, and have stuck with it ever since. I have other nicknames that I use for my travel blogs, etc. But I won't get into all of that. By the way, the spelling of your name Arun, is very interesting. I don't think that I have seen it spelled that way before. Have a great day!

When I first signed in to a site on the net I used a combination of both my kids names...Mayur and Kavita became Mayka... and now that name has got stuck with me for all the sites that I am on to. And since the meaning in Hindi i.e. Mother's house is also very good I do not want to change this name.

I almost always use macdingolinger. Some sites use email addresses for sign in or user names so that's a given. I have certain passwords with variations I try when doing user names and passwords. I have to be careful and use my own personal tricks so that I can remember them!

If you see zearah in pages and some sites other than mylot 80% that's me. Of course if the content is illegal and bad I am off to that. Yes this is my online official name. Every time I log in in a site I always use register as zearah. Well if in any case it would not be available I just add a number to it usually one to two digits. That's it, no more techniques and tricks.

Well I don't use any kind of tactics while I am making a username for myself in a site. I just type my first name and last name together and it's my username! And in site where they require atleast a digit also in the username, I just add the last two digits of my birth year. Happy mylotting!

its easy create a username. just think of something that you would like to do. like me.. i love to shop online so im using homeshoppers coz im shopping at home using my internet... if the system will not allow you to add the username then just add 00 up to 09 at the end or any number at the end to make it acceptable....

The first one I used was my favorite RPG final boss, who is Kefka from FFVI but I was not able to use it in many sites. I also tried my favorite anime character and that didn't seem to work out on some sites as well. So I tried to think of something simpler and more unique, thus the advent of biz_qwaszx.
