from Match.com, it’s a bit like getting an unexpected package in the mail. I’ve certainly had my fair share of long conversations with girlfriends, discussing which usernames would make the best impression. Will he be turned off if I have this as my username? “Choosing a suitable name tells the world how you want to be seen.It’s fun, and it adds a bit of much-needed intrigue to my day. Consider your intentions: What kind of people do you want to attract? “A name like Twiglet or Kit Kat sends a playful message, while Erininpajamas implies you work at home (or not at all).” That’s not to say that you have to stick to more literal names and avoid cleverness altogether—quite the contrary.

And if some of the gentlemen above could be accused of not thinking about their username enough, then maybe some of the ladies are, well, pondering it to the point of sheer madness. After careful consideration, a close friend of mine chose Zesty Lemon as her handle, because she thought it summed up her cheerful, sassy personality. Your username and picture are the first things that people see, so think about what that name conveys to people who don’t know you. And if these two guys are to be believed, they’re serving up heartbreak and emotional baggage in spades. I don’t want to make it seem like guys are the only ones making these username mistakes; women are just as guilty. You’re trying to find someone with whom you can connect.The first 4 names are random names picked from a list of about 800 names I made up myself by taking animal names or types of people and changing those names to something fun or something which includes a pun.I personally prefer humorous names or clever names, so I tried to make sure as many of those were added.
