PSA : How to name yourself

I just wanna make a quick PSA for randos about how to name your character, or account, or whatever it is.

What to do : 
make a name. lets use Danglepeen for exampe, without adding a bunch of bullshit to it.

What not to do : 

for some reason unknown to me, have Xs at the front and end of your name like XDanglepeenX

have a bunch of random numbers at the end of your name as if you are the 53798th person with that name like XDanglepeenX53798

add the word “killa” to your name like XDanglepeenKillaX

find a reason to wedge the most cliche numbers possible in there like X420Danglepeen666Killa69X

have a clan tag for a game you played like 5 ######### years ago, like [NUTS]X420Danglepeen666Killa69X

I see all of this garbage on a daily basis. 

Please
 just 
stop

this is your NAME for FFS! its what IM gonna have to call you when i refer to you in game, and i shouldnt have to do a deep dive into your ######### name to figure out what to call you.

come up with a name that isnt taken. if for some reason it IS already taken, dont just add a bunch of bullshit to it. be creative and make up a new name.

THANK YOU

    You should've made your name “BACKSPLASH!” then. Or perhaps “UnexpectedFloater”

    Something you can do is to add your steam account name and password in there such as:
    xXxHelloMyAccNameIsAssAndMyPasswordIsAssierxXx

    You're lucky you can actually use your name without having to answer the same questions over and over.

    My real name is Renee though. And i had people trying to hit on me on Steam soon as i told them. But its fun to take the opportunity to make something up for the lulz till i disappoint the incels.

    Mixed blessings i guess.

    My name isn't Chester, its Renee, had some weirdos and incels trying to hit on me after telling them. Its actually quite funny when that happens.

    Taking the good with the bad i guess.

    I always used to call myself Scum Killer, after https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQnMCtF1u50, but in DBD, it took on a whole different meaning, so to avoid the heat, changed to where I am now...
