@Shadow – Oh, all sorts of names! Why not SonicShadow? I’d also think that the various sound effect words from comics might work pretty well for a username.

What kind of awesome username can I make with the name “Sonic” cause I’m a huge fan of the games, comics, and cartoons?

I’m pretty happy with the moniker I use online. Just wish I could remember how I came up with it.

@allanonmage – It depends. For example, your screenname makes me think of someone who has a drinking problem. Probably a bad idea for a dating site. Even if people don’t actively think it, the idea is in the back of their mind, clouding their judgment.

Would you recommend going with your internet handle? I try to use the same screen name across the net so that people can find me on different sites. Also to keep it straight for my login credentials.

Some good suggestions! Something that provokes a question is always good too, I’ve found. I know a few people have asked me what the story behind my username is (my okcupid one, not this one!) and I think when it comes to profiles anything that eases those first communications is gold!

I disagree… GreenMacnCheese sounds like a failed McDonald’s marketing scheme… It was the dish that wasn’t put into Happy Meals… Oh and if only there was such a thing as a “Happy” Meal.

@ Khorboth – It was a good suggestion! GreenMacnCheese sounds like something one might find in the tupperware that gets lost in the back of the fridge.
