Good news everyone: I now know what romanize means. Thanks for the enlightenment : )

I feel less nerdy seeing as I'm not the only one who has opened a dictionary or thesaurus searching for an alias. I think there is about a three month period in any nerds life where anythng Latin is cool. After that and you realize how much of a tool you are.

I have a friend who I would not describe as creative. Every one of his names is something he could see from his desk at the time. I thought him using the name DentyneIce made it obvious that he did that...then he made the name Lamp'. He needed the punctuation because Lamp was taken. Guess he's not the only one guilty of looking around the room for a name ; ) Maybe that's what (P)BackHo did!

Use a fancy word (10 letters minimum) from science or medicine. This will make others to falsely think that you are smart.

You have to pick a name that goes along with your inner loner, that tells everyone else "I'm a BAMF." Pick a name like "sniperwolf" or "shadow wolf" or "darkwolf" or "wolf reaper" or "reaper wolf" or "alpha wolf helix"

Aren't you reading it the other way around?
As in the names aren't RTS-like, it's just the korean progamers use names like that.

At this rate, the future will have advice columns in fashion magazines for picking a screen name.

Just modify YOUR name in some ways, like translating into other languages etc... My name in Korean is kkoekkoli. Can't even spell it.

Surprised we got to 3 pages and this hasn't been linked yet.

If your goal is to be a "f33red k0r34n z3rg" then may I direct you to the guide from this very website:

"how to become a f33red k0r34n z3rg on wcg/wsl".

Step 1 of this guide is picking a name.

step 1) make a user name. i recommend picking a noun and then adding zerg at the end of it.
EX: AfricaZerg

remember, you have to look convincing so that your opponent will fear of playing you. so, pick a random noun. the more stupid you look, the more skilled you we be percieved of having.
EX: TamponZerg
Their are four errors in this sentance.

I should add that the same applies to adding -toss at the end. For example PadToss.

Note that it is also acceptable to use 'toss-' if you play Terran.

:D

I'm unoriginal so I tend to pick stuff that matches my name... Like dropping the H from psychopath, or truncating & concatenating my names to wind up with Patch...

Either that or random made-up names (ala Torgal) or cool obscure monsters from various games/realms, like Braxat or something. Meh.

Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

Good names: Don't try to make themselves badass, and aren't punny. I mean, for legendary people. Personally, I like funny names, but they don't make for an "oh damn it's him name". They are aslo simple so people can remember them/don't try to shorten them.

Bisu

It also helps to have a nice strong connotation associated with the literal word that is your name, but it's obviously not necessary

Bad names: basically violate the two rules above, with some exceptions. Some names just don't sound cool (eg. Movie)
