Suggestion: Random Username Generator for Scratchers Who Can’t Think of One, Other Options, and More!
Title
I have a suggestion for people who want to create a username- what if there was a button that generated a username that wasn’t used?
Problem
You don't have to have a user name that is easy to spell but is not too common if it was pre generated and if there isn't one 'follow' ', it could also link to original account
Solution
I suggest adding a button that generates a username that is not used. This could be done through a combination of random words, numbers, and a library of words. For example, the generator could produce an adjective, a noun, and a few numbers. This would ensure that the username is unique and doesn't already exist.
Features
- Generate a username that is not used
- Link to original account for alt, test, or tutor purposes
- Option to see the generated username before signing up
- Kid-friendly and inclusive of all age groups
- Ability to randomize generated username if necessary
Discussion
- mtech22 points out that it's possible for a weird or inappropriate combo to come up even if you don't include inappropriate words. Would there be a way to see the username before you sign up so you don't have one you hate, and you can randomize it again?
- pavcato states that they have already made something like this as a project, but it's a good idea. Support.
- JPOWERPUFFGIRLS suggests that users are supposed to be creative and make their own usernames, that is like telling a robot to make you a nickname for your friends to call you.
- GreenCrayom responds to JPOWERPUFFGIRLS by stating that they understand the point but would like to see the username before signing up to ensure it's not something they hate.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I believe that a random username generator for Scratchers who can’t think of one, other options, and more is a great idea. It would allow for users to create unique usernames that are not already taken and would link to their original account for alt, test, or tutor purposes.
