Who would’ve thought that I would credit Lego with the best name generator I have ever used!
The algorithm is Title + Adjective + Noun
Don’t know what use there is for a name generator? I’m sure just about everyone has a go-to account name for website logins, email, IM screen names, etc. Sometimes those names are used so much they become our nickname in real life and in a way, a part of our identity.
The one I used to use a lot was lika722. Super unoriginal, not unique, and not very creative. Lika is my name in Hawaiian and using numbers from a DoB is so overused. Not to mention, a lot of sites these days require a minimum of 8 characters. So boo to me, that name is not very good.
I’m also not that great at coming up with monikers on the spot. My laser tag name was Lady, bleh. Granted, I was 9 years old at the time, but coming up with character names for World of Warcraft or any other computer/video game and I’d spend more time thinking of a cool creative name than anything else, usually failing miserably for some cheesy feminine epithet instead of an inspired call sign.
It’s through the Lego Life app, called Lego nickname, may be able to access it through the web directly. Some of the names are juvenile and silly, but there were several that were really fun and actually inventive.
