the older i get the stupider having a nickname sounds as a concept to me. i've stopped using nicknames and just use my real name because A) it's not incredibly unique so that people are going to know who i am simply by looking for me based on my name and what games i play and B) even if they did find me i don't give a shit, it's free publicity for my other stuff
Use a random math term that sounds cool like "eigenvector"
Alternatively pick a random Aphex Twin song name.
>>377943147
I don't think having an internet handle is that weird at first since you'll probably settle on your "main" one when you're pretty young. What makes it weird is if you then want to change it somewhere down the line, because it's like going around to everyone you know and going "Hey, I know my name is John but listen, call me Nick from now on ok?" and the ones who knew you by your old name are just gonna keep calling you that anyway.

Need a non-cringe name now. But everything I come up with is fucking cringy.
Using things like alliteration or rhyming words often make a username sound better, or something essily visualised can make it more memorable.

>>377943383
Food is a good bet. I mean, any food that ends by "s" sounds alright as a nickname (i guess that's because it's some kind of name softener in english, like Nines). Pancakes, Donuts, Crackers, anything goes.
