Sit around for an hour trying to think of something clever without resorting to dumb shit everyone uses.

Go through 5 attempts, always taken.

Refuse to alter spelling of something or add accents above letters.

Sit for another hour.

Make something simple like Bob or use a random name generator the game supplies.


I made my DS3 character name Bob and pvp'd in the fight club area and was invaded by someone named Bob, we both just stood there applauding eachother, then we both had a battle of the Bobs.

I've got like 3 names I can choose from.

Usually I use a keyboard to input the characters. Occasionally I'll have to use a controller or directional keys to navigate to on-screen characters and input them one at a time, especially on consoles.

I just went with the name of one of the bosses of Borderlands

But how do you name yourself?

With your hands? With your feet? Read what the OP was asking pls.

Reading comprehension amirite lol
>>
>>341803745
You just named a car manufacturer and a snack food company. There is nothing unique about those words.
>>
>>341800561
>must include an alphanumeric character

This is truly shitty. Just made a PSN account for the first time in my life and ended up just spacing out one of my usual name with underscores cause nothing else was allowed.

I don't even own a Sony console.

>>341800561
I have two methods:
>Method one: Think of something really obnoxious, that will immediately piss off someone on the server.
EX: 420KanyeWest#YOLO, Nickelback, Patriot4Life, GasTheFurries, Kony4President.

>Method two: Find the last thing people would expect to see as a gamertag, and use it as my gamertag.
>EX: AlexTrebek, S&P 500, Internal Revenue Service, The Antiques Road Show, [email protected]

Oh hey, somebody who does the same thing I do!

Reminder that names with numbers are autistic
If you shitters can't come uo with something original, there is no hope for you

I usually go with ArtilleryChimp or Hot Jet Fuel, assuming that it's a user name, not a character name.
>>
>>341800561
Usually just my first name because it's not very common, people don't even believe me when I tell them it's my name

I literally can't describe how I came up with it without outright saying what it is, so fuck it.

other than the fact they're completely unique, made up words... you're right, there's nothing unique about those words

not really sure what your point is though...

>>341800561
Something in Russian so nobody get the idea to talk to me

I take a word that starts with a vowel and put a g, t, d, b, or k in front of it.
