Summarize the following:
Before you start working on a killer username, make sure you can actually use it! For example, most sites will not allow you to use a part of your password or profanity in your username. While using personal information like your full date of birth or your current address may not necessarily be banned, it’s a very bad idea for security reasons. Consider trying things like rhymes, such as "dennisthemenace” or “SillyLily.” Or, use alliteration like "meticulousmathilda" or “PensivePenny.” While these strategies might not be unique in and of themselves, your take on editing your name will be. If you’d prefer not to use your first name, try your middle name! Simply brainstorm a list of your favorite things, then smash two or three of them together into a username. You can create absurd, nonsensical usernames in this way, which increases the chances of having a one-of-a-kind username.  For example, if you like pandas and orcas, you might make your username "PandaWhale." Or, if you’d like a more edgy username, you might try "KillerPanda.” Try using two favorites from different categories. For instance, if you love ice hockey and creating art out of scrap metal, you might become “IceWelder.” Making a username out of what you love to do will not only make it easy to remember, it will make it uniquely personal. You’ll probably have to tack on a number, though, since there are a lot of usernames with things like “swimmer” or “juggler” in them.  One way to do this is to use your pastime in conjunction with your birth year—for example, "climber86" or "fictionauthor91." If you’d prefer not to use your birth year for privacy or security purposes, choose another memorable set of digits. For instance, if you’ll always remember that you did your first stand-up comedy routine in 2014, you might become “OpenMic14.” Like most people, you probably have one or two interests, traits, feelings, or habits that your friends and family attribute only to you. These are things that set you apart from the bulk of the population, and can therefore be good fodder for a username.  For example, if you habitually tap your foot when you’re sitting down, you might choose “ToeTapTerry.” Unique things don't have to be things that only you embody. For example, if all of your friends like kumquats but you're obsessed with them, your exceptional love of said fruit might make you “kumquatkate.” Create two columns on a sheet of paper. In the left column, write down a list of adjectives (funny, lazy, spunky, sarcastic, etc.) that you’d use to describe yourself. In the right column, jot down a list of things that you enjoy, like your favorite activities, favorite animals, and number-one dessert choice. Then, combine one choice from each column until you find a pairing you really like! You’ll often find usernames that derive from this "adjective-noun" formula—for instance, "DeviousChinchilla" or "AggravatedCremeBrulee.” So, while the formula itself isn’t unique, the combination you come up with can be. You might want to convey humor or silliness in your username, or you might want to inspire a darker, more visceral reaction. Keep this in mind as you come up with possible usernames, and especially when deciding on one. For example, a silly username for a writer might be "CaffeinatedPenFiend," while a more intense username could be something like "InkandFire.”

Summary:
Check the username rules for the site you’re using. Build a play on words from your first name. Combine two or more of your favorite things. Add a memorable number to your favorite pastime. Rely on an odd habit or interest that sets you apart. Pair a like or interest with an adjective. Make sure your prospective username conveys the right tone.
