1.) You can use the name of a character from a television show, comic book, or movie… as long as it is consistent with positivity. Use the name of your favorite character that, hopefully, conveys great personality traits. Make sure to not make it cheesy and name yourself JamesBond007. You should try and be original! Although James Bond might be a great character that exudes all the qualities of a confident and sexy man, try and come up with something that rings through as unique.
2.) Use adjectives that are unique! I don’t think I have stressed this enough. Look up adjectives that seem to summarize who you are. Get your friend to help you. Go to dictionary.com and plug it in the thesaurus section to come up with some synonyms for it. Then, come up with something else to go along with it!
An example would be…

that is unique to that meaning. Look up that word in the thesaurus and you might come up with the word “audacious.” So, if you wanted to be unique, you could adopt the as something funny like “AudaciouslySexyAdam.” As you can see, the possibilities are really endless. You can have a lot of fun with this but make sure you get something you are truly happy with, and that will have permanent meaning to you!
3.) Name yourself after something that you find some passion in. For example, if you play the guitar, you could name yourself something along the lines of
“GuitarHeroMaster” or something funny in reference to the popular videogame, Guitar Hero. If you love to paint and you dig Picasso, you could adopt the name “SexyPicasso.” Don’t use these names, but you get the picture.
4.) You can use the words “sexy” or “hotty” but remember to keep it unique to you and classy. There is a big difference between the names “SexyPicasso” and “SexyWhore.” These words like it or not, do attract a lot of attention. Its use has been so widespread that it doesn’t seem insecure, but almost seems confident. And obviously, everyone wants a sexy or hot single to mingle with – who doesn’t! The word sexy captures so much attention; it is no surprise that so many ad campaigns use sex so much to grab the attention of its market. Done in a classy way, the intelligent use of this image can attract a lot of positive attention. This is definitely not for everyone, though.

5.) No matter what your username is, be sure to check over your spelling! Intentional spelling errors can be confusing for plain stupidity. For myself, I
spelling and grammar are some of the first things I look for when I’m assessing the intelligence of a woman. It doesn’t matter how good looking she is – if she doesn’t put the time and effort to spell check your dating profile she either doesn’t care or simply lacks the intelligence that I require for a relationship.
6.) There’s absolutely nothing stopping you from keeping your profile name mysterious. In fact, I say this pointer is a must! How can you effectively create mystery in your profile name, you ask? Simple. Indirectly make a large claim about yourself… and make it funny! For example, one of my personal favorite names to use online was “LoveGuru” – and my headline was… I Know Exactly What You Women Want.
7.) Lastly, after you have come up with your username, sit back and look at it. Does it seem attractive? Is it offensive or rude? Is it too sexy? Is it unique? Would you, if you were a member browsing other profiles, want to click on your name because of it? Does it contain spelling errors? Is it too cheesy? Get a friend to check it over. It never hurts to get a second opinion on the matter.
Don’t get too worked up on coming up with a masterpiece. A lot of dating sites will allow you to change your name, anyways. Although maximizing every single aspect of
your profile should be your overall objective, in don’t make a shitty one!

Dear Danny,
Don’t concern yourself with your username that much. And my username shall remain a secret!
However, if you do desperately need to think of a username, try asking some of your friends what qualities they think you have. Do you have a favorite character from a
movie/novel/comic book (that isn’t cheesy)? DeliciousDanny, DannyTheDude…if you want to play off your own name. The possibilities here are theoretically endless. Have some fun with it but keep it in line with the rules!
