Scroll through people on a dating site, and you'll see a range of screen names. Some simple, some complicated, some with symbols like numbers, others without. But are there any ways to help yourself choose a good screen name? Here are some ideas that might help!

Not too specific

Part of the idea of a screen name is to help protect your identity, something you should keep in mind with what you pick.

Readable

Picking a name that people will be able to read easily can be a good idea. Simplicity is often the order of the day here. Some features of names can leave people struggling to really register what they are.

One thing that really can help make a screen name tricky to read is a string of numbers. If you do want to use numbers, perhaps it's better just to have one or two.

Although it's tempting, using just groups of letters that don't make full words is also something that can stop people really registering a name in their minds.

Use the _

If you want to break words up, the _ symbol can be really useful. This helps make your name easier to read, because you won't have two words running into each other. You can find the symbol on the keyboard near the end of the row of number keys along the top of the letter section. You will need to hit shift to get the right symbol.

Fun

A good, fun name that has something to say can really catch the attention, so think about what combination of words you could use that might bring a smile to someone's face, or even say something about you.

Caps

Using caps at the start of a name looks more accurate – after all, names always start with a capital. Caps can also be another way to help separate words visually.ADNFCR-2867-ID-801744734-ADNFCR
