    Username Tips for Guys

    • Avoid 'xx' and excessive numbers — they look like throwaway gaming tags
    • Strong single words or two-word combos perform best for memorability
    • Your username should match the energy of your content, not just what sounds cool
    • Test by telling someone your username verbally — can they find you immediately?
    • Don't choose something you'd be embarrassed to say in a brand deal meeting
    • Check that it doesn't accidentally spell something inappropriate when compressed
