I've never noticed a trend in the usernames before... Mainly, I only notice that a lot of Exchangers/ Venders have funny names... Like "too slow" or something on the MP. That was funny... losing out to that vendor was kinda hilarious.

Ooh yeah. I see those kinds of names a lot in the exchange thread as well. Well, if they're good, can't argue razz

”Tell me why am I still here when it’s all gone; I’m living with the ghost of yesterday
Tell me why am I still trying to hold on; I’ve got to tear it down to let it go”

I'm known as KillerCaitie in a handful of online communities. I also was once known as WWETakerGirl.
Hahaha I definitely have noticed the CB trend for a while and it's spot on lol

Tbh I have no idea where my username would fit... It's not a real word, but when I made it up a couple of years back it took me a loooong time to come up with a short and casual name. I don't even what promoted me to make it one word sweatdrop I used to post in the GCD, and CB a lot in 2008/9 when I changed it, maybe it was a trend back then? Idk cat_neutral

Haha that's cute whee But i agree, i like your current more!

Tiny Shapeshifter

I agree on how usernames are usually based off of ones interest. My username has been with me ever since the dawn of my internet usage, and back then when I was a wee little thing, I wanted to associate myself with something fantasy-like (loved so many RPGs of that 1990s era). Then again, I don't hang around in gaming forums, nor anime/manga, nor the Barton Roleplay forums, which are something I'm still interested in have I had the time. I guess my taste in content may have to do with the lack of visits over there as well.

Eternal Hellraiser

      I can see where your getting those observations from. IDK if I'd call them trends tho ahaha.
      But I think that has to do w/how i see usernames. They are more like personas to me :v
      As sometimes they can show a little bit into a persons interests and stuff.. or just be a reflection of their online persona.
      but sometimes the name is what is it to be trolly and nothing more. P:

      My favorite ones were always in Pvp/hardcore pve farmer communities. generally some sort of humorous but quirky spin on something.

I do notice certain types of username associated with each forum. I try to act the same everywhere I go, no sense in acting different or pretending to be someone you aren't.

So true!

ninja where do you think I fit?!? ninja

It's supposed to be two names, bren tempted to change it but cant/wont because I've been around since 2003 and have lost touch with some people and if anyone knows me I want them to be able to find me!

I also noticed that in the Heaven forums the names are often longer and still more...uh. Not sexualized/xxxnamexxxx/spamyspam Usually names or long creative type name things.

Perfect Saint

I'm under "Not creative enough to think of a user name and just use my own" niche.
I feel like lately there's more usernames that are a phrase rather than a name. It could be that I just never noticed them before though and I don't know if it's subforum-specific.

Aside from that though, I don't know that I've noticed the same trends OP mentioned, but maybe I'll be more on the lookout now c:
