I personally have a lot of trouble coming up with usernames, on anything. I usually end up picking a username that means something to me or I think sounds really nice, but I take ages and admit I kind of suck at it. I never get the one I want either since the good ones are always taken and on some sites every username is taken. I've changed my username a few times, I just do it when I get bored of them. My old username was Jessica, before that was Jessicakes and my username before that was chibidelta. I'll probably stick with Dawn from now on though. My favourite username on here probably belongs to @Moog I just like how it sounds. Some honorable mentions are @Klad, @Luna, @Roth, @TheN00dzWizard and @Tsudecimo. Just off the top of my head.

My username now is a result of other sites having a character limit. My preferred username is GodlessCapitalist but I shortened it to the username you see now...

It just stuck and it became my universal username for 3 years now.

My old ones in other sites would be blackcrossunited(when I was a teenager) and ResidentObjectivist(2009-2010)..

Favorite username in MAL? Uhmmmm..... tbh, it'll be @GreenSoap ... Weird choice of username is weird but I like it.

It takes a lot of time for me, I change it usually when I get bored of my previous one, which doesn't happen very often. If the name I've been thinking about is better than my current one (aka I like it more), then I'll use that one.

How often do you change your username and what are some of your previous ones?
I don't change it very often. I've used too many that I don't even remember lol, but Near was one of the usernames I used the most in the past.

Are there any usernames on MAL that you like a lot?
There are many names I like, but I feel too lazy to make a list =.=

You should change your name to Snowflaiq btw, OP.

7 is my favourite number, but I just add 126 to the end if its taken. I hate using numbers though its like admitting defeat so I try another name or finding another way to type it. Numbers are a last resort for me.

I'm never changing my username on MAL, at least I won't while @Mkim2 still exists. This person is the reason I feel so good for having the username Mkim.
But whenever I can't get my first choice, I either choose MiKimDot or AppleFairy

I've used Maz and variations of that for quite a few years now.
I think I originally got the idea from when I played World of Warcraft; one of the characters was called Mazregos and I kinda liked it, so ended up naming my character that. People ended up calling me "Maz" all the time, though, so I always tried to get that if the name were available. Sadly it often isn't. In those cases I used Maaaaaz for my XBL name, and usually ItsMaz for everything else.

This normally reduces the amount of time I spend on trying to get a good username because I can just try different variations of this without having to think of something completely new.
Otherwise, I'm one of those people who spends hours thinking of a name for my characters if I'm playing an RPG or something like that.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

How long does it take you to come up with a username and do you ever get your first choice?
I've had different "stages" when it comes to usernames over the years. I previously had a "random" English word as username. Now I'm going through the "random" Japanese expression stage. I tend the same one over and over or variations of it until I come up with a new one I like. Usually they're available.

How often do you change your username and what are some of your previous ones
Well I changed it to tsuyokunaru almost a year and a half ago, I think? Previously I was shindou-kun and that was my original MAL username. Back when Livejournal was a thing for me, I used to change it once or twice a year.

Are there any usernames on MAL that you like a lot?
Comic_Sans is the best! I also like Kineta because it sounds nice to say it out loud.

I've never changed usernames, not on this site at least.

Comming up with usernames isn't hard, I have plenty of past ones I can use or a new one already in mind. I get my first pick just about all the time.

I change it fairly often I think, or when I feel like it at least. Some of my previous names have been:

- Emberoth
- Caligubro
- WeebSpaceCommie
- Sir_Chasm

Not sure if there are anyone that I like, there are members that I like and thus I like the usernames, but as far as just the usernames go, I'm not sure.

I didn't put alot of thought into my username, as you can probably tell. I never spend more than 30 seconds thinking about anything before I get bored and pick something at random. I usually get my first choice unless its something super generic.
