Words because it creates a clearly recognizable identity.

I'll add it to the list of ideas. If implemented, it'd be optional of course, but it's not a bad idea and good for those who wish to use a different username on different sites (Which is something I encourage).

I second this. It's actually something I've thought about a few months ago while looking at Gfycat links. Given a decently sized dictionary of adjectives and nouns, I suppose joining just two or three would yield plenty of unique and memorable usernames.

For example:

  • ADJ + N
  • ADJ + N + N
  • ADJ + ADJ + N

I believe that mixing adjectives and nouns would prevent generated usernames from becoming an outright word–salad and maybe give them some nonsensically playful quality.

By the way, hi.
