Many computer games provide us with the opportunity to create our own unique characters, customize their appearance, choose characteristics and, of course, give them a name. Some players quickly figure out what to name their character, others take a long time and carefully choose a nickname for their hero, with whom they will spend many hours in the game. How to choose an interesting and memorable name?

What to name a character in the game?

The choice of character name depends on your imagination, goals and setting of the game. If nothing immediately comes to mind, and you don’t want to think about it for a long time, then you can find ready nickname or use a name generator. However, if you want to come up with a nickname yourself, here are some ideas for naming your character:

1. If in a game you need to choose a character’s class or specialization, then you can name him accordingly. For example, if your hero is a magician, then you can give him the name Gandalf, Merlin, or simply the Sorcerer. But it is better to avoid names that do not suit the character, unless your goal is to come up with a humorous nickname.
2. Take the first name that comes to mind and rearrange the syllables in it. For example, Larisa - Sarila.
3. Combine two names you know. For example, Irina and Anna - Anrina, Anton and Igor - Goran or Tongor.
4. Swap the letters in a name or word. For example, laughter - Hems, Danil - Alnid.

Character names in online games

In a multiplayer game, choosing a name for a character is more difficult than in a single-player game, because your nickname will be seen and evaluated by other players. In addition, originality and memorability of the nickname are important. In such games you can find a variety of hero names:

1. Proper name or its modified forms (Alexander - Alex, Ekaterina - Kat). They often add additional letters, numbers and symbols if their nickname is taken by someone else. For example, Ellena, R0man.
2. The name of your favorite character from a book, movie, cartoon, game.
3. Favorite name, word, event, place. It can be either a geographical name or just a beautiful word. But you need to be careful with such nicknames, because if you don’t know the meaning of the word you called yourself by, then it’s better to clarify it.
4. Names of famous personalities.
5. Comic nicknames. For example, Horse Ball, UFO Driver, Sausage of Justice.
6. Nicknames characterizing the character. For example, Sharp Shooter, Clever Thief, Chosen One, Princess.
7. Random set of letters. For example, Qwerty, Dfdfdf, Jkwasd. Most often they call characters this way when they don’t want to think about a name, but sometimes you can come up with an interesting nickname this way.

Try to choose a unique name for the hero in an online game. Of course, you can call your character a popular movie character or a famous person, but then your character will get lost among similar nicknames. It is also important not to use insults or obscene words in the name of your hero.

Writing a name in Elvish

If you like fantasy themes, then you can try making an elven name for yourself. In the pictures you will find the prefixes and suffixes that make up the name. There is also a translation here so you can make a nickname with meaning.

Suffixes for female and male names are separated by a slash (/). Other spellings are indicated in parentheses.

A name is made up of a prefix and one or more suffixes. For example, consider what to name a female character. We take the prefix Syl-, combine it with the suffix -vanna and get Sylvanna, which means “forest fairy”.

You don't have to follow the rules when creating a nickname for your character. You can change and compose it as you like, add as many prefixes as you like, or do without them at all. The main thing is that you like the result.

Names for male characters

Coming up with a nickname for your character is certainly a fascinating process, but you can do it easier and choose from existing names. Since the usual names are not so interesting, let's turn to Old Norse, Celtic, Slavic, Japanese and African. Here are some examples of how to name a male character:

Names for female characters

As with male characters, you can either come up with a name for your heroine in the game yourself or choose from existing ones. Here are some examples of how to name a female character in the game:

Comic names

If you want your character's name to make you smile and be memorable, then you can come up with a funny nickname. However, we should not forget that such a nickname can spoil the atmosphere of some games with its frivolity.

It is best to come up with such nicknames yourself so that they are unique. For example, you can combine two or three words together or slightly change well-known phrases and phrases (Rake Runner, Loaf of Fate, His Catness). The success of such a name will depend on your sense of humor and imagination.

How to name a character in The Sims

If you want to give your Sim an original and unusual name, then you can use the methods described above or lists of names. You can choose a character's surname using the same principle.

If you have landed on this page, then it is obvious that your fantasy has died. But it’s okay, we’ll help you come up with nicknames for the game that the game will trample much better under them.

First of all, let's figure out the purpose of your visit. You need to immediately have a cool and original nickname or is the direction of the vector required for reflection? In the first case, everything is quite simple - open the list of top nicknames and copy it to the game settings. It's done. But with the second case it will be much more interesting. To come up with exactly what you want to see during many hours of play, you should spend at least 5-10 minutes thinking. To effectively come up with your own nickname, we have prepared some tips for you at the end of the page.

Coming up with a nickname for the strategy

In this genre of games, the names of various commanders, generals, nicknames associated with personal qualities. In strategies, you often lead a large army, so you need to choose a nickname that sounds good. For strategies, it is better not to choose a funny nickname, as the entire concept of the game may be destroyed. This genre is often very serious and creates the same atmosphere.

Nicknames for the RPG genre

There is more space here. IN role playing games Always try to select nicknames in accordance with the setting of the game. If this is fantasy, then the nickname should be unusual, and not just “Petya”. The same applies to science fiction.

Since in RPGs you can choose your gender, the choice of nickname is divided into a list for girls and a list for guys. Much still depends on the character's appearance, so the same female name can be taken from real life, name the heroine after your friend or acquaintance. The nickname “locksmith” would not suit a girl character.

Nicky in shooters

In shooters, players often like to set male nickname regardless of gender, as this genre is dominated by men as protagonists. If the game has a militarized style, then try to come up with the shortest possible nickname for it, that is, a “call sign”. In order for the name to look as aesthetically pleasing as possible in game dialogues, the localization of the game should be taken into account. If it is in Russian or English, then it is better to write the nickname in the same language so that it does not get lost in the text of the plot.

If you really want to have cool nickname for a shooter, then look at the wiki section about wars, there you can often find unusual names of historical figures that you will like.

Nicknames in online games

IN single player You can use absolutely any nickname, because no one except you will see it. But in multiplayer games you need to think longer. There, not only you will evaluate your name, but also other players. Normal nicknames are those that do not offend anyone around them. If you call yourself “nigga”, the nigga on the other end of the line may be offended and... kill you in the game.

Final choice of nickname

If after reading this you are inspired to think about beautiful nickname, then don’t be distracted by anything and write it down right away, since it always happens that they are forgotten in two seconds. Cool nicknames for games are created long and painstakingly, since you will have to see it for a lot of time. This is like coming up with a name for a child - you will also have to hear it a lot of time. If you still can’t come up with a cool nickname, you should turn to ready-made tops and lists where you can copy them and forget the whole thing like a bad dream.

Hi, friend! It’s cool that you are engaged in creativity and are going to let it into the masses =) I know this, because otherwise you wouldn’t have wondered how to come up with a pseudonym.

In this article, I will tell you about the typical mistakes that people make when choosing a nickname, what exactly I think makes a nickname cool and memorable, I will give a bonus and give examples.

But first, it would be nice to tell who I am and why I am writing an article on a similar topic. The fact is that I myself am not far from creativity, and just like you I was faced with the problem that I could not decide what to call myself. I tried about 5 nicknames over several years, and settled, in my opinion, on the best. I’ll tell you why I decided this at the end of this article.

3 common mistakes when choosing a nickname

• The first thing I would like to talk about is that you should not choose a nickname as a nickname. I mean ordinary nicknames that everyone had in the yard or at school, which may have carried over into adult life, and then you decide that since everyone already calls you Vantuz, then even in the creative community you will be known by by this name. Possible for YouTube (if you run your own channel) this would only be a suitable nickname if you were covering some internet crap or something worse. I don't see any other options here.

• The next point is simply called “shit and eat.” I think that from the title of this paragraph it should be clear what I mean. This kind of crap is very common among gamers, but they have their own specifics... At the same time, someone calls themselves that in VKontakte, uses a similar pseudonym for rap and for YouTube. I have one question for such people - what kind of patience and desire to find out who the author of this “wonderful creation” should a person have in order to read (correctly!), remember, recommend you to someone, and so that he can then easily find you in Internet. For some reason no one thinks about this. Don't force people to stress!

• Next typical mistake is that in an attempt to come up with a super-cool and unique, memorable nickname, people completely forget about adequacy. Here are some examples, real people: Homeless, Homo in the Village, Vodavrot and these are not the most frostbitten =) When I see such names, it immediately becomes clear that the person is doing something frivolous at the level of an amateur... there is no desire to watch or listen to him. And it's not worth it.

These are the key mistakes that I was able to highlight from the crowd. I strongly recommend not to repeat them. Why? It seems so clear.

Now to the main question

How to choose a good nickname

There are quite a lot of options. I don’t know which one will be more useful to you, so read on and choose what you like.

• The first and most obvious is a pseudonym from a name. I don’t know why many people avoid this option. Just look at your first and last name. Perhaps it reads and looks very cool and there is no need to change anything. You can try to write in English if you are going to make yourself known abroad. This would be a great solution for an artist or musician... or designer. Denis Simachev is an example.

• It won't suit everyone, but it's an option. Again, play with your name. Perhaps, by combining part of the first and last name, you get good nickname. Just to give you an example, the author of this blog is also known as Deep.

• The following options are more complicated. Think about what mood your creativity conveys, what topics it is about and where it is directed. Based on this, sketch out on a piece of paper all the associations that come to your mind. Then either choose from what is available, or you can continue the chain, but this is unlikely. Out of 3 questions, you can easily write 30 options. You can choose something from this. Perhaps slightly adjusted for better sound.

• The next option requires time and experience in what you do. As I promised at the beginning, now I’ll tell you how I chose my last stage name. My environment helped me with this, even without my participation. According to my friend, the conversation turned to me... word for word and I’m ready new nickname, sonorous and which is meaningfully connected with me. I didn’t approach anyone at all with the words “help me come up with cool nickname", somehow it all happened on its own. But again, it will most likely take a lot of time.

Mistakes when coming up with a nickname (pseudonym)

There are few of them, but they exist. And for success in your endeavor, I advise you to use these points.

• The name should not be long. If you have more than 10 letters in one word, then you should think about a different nickname.

• The next point is related to the first, but I decided to separate them. There is no need to make your nickname more than 4-5 words. It’s very inconvenient to read and write, and it’s unlikely that anyone will remember it the first time. But there is an exception. I remember once watching a Comedy Battle program and there were guys who called themselves “Just a fellow traveler and you know about it.” In my opinion, it’s a great name for comedians. I can’t say exactly why it sounds great and is memorable, perhaps it has something to do with the song =)

• Should be easy to read. I wrote about this in errors and will repeat it again. Make your name as simple and clear as possible - it will be easier for people to remember you.

• There is no dissonance between what you do and your name. It would be very strange to be called a “little pony” when you are a 35-year-old man with a mohawk who performs growling hard metal... well, I think the example is clear.

How to choose a creative nickname for a girl? Try these same tips. It seems to me that there should be no differences.

Generators of nicknames, names and pseudonyms - a bonus for the lazy

And now the promised bonus for those who got scammed. Now there are quite a lot of services on the Internet that allow you to generate a nickname or name for yourself. As a bonus to today’s material, I’ll list some of them so that you have plenty to choose from. These generators are made for lazy people who don't want to think for themselves. As a rule, they all work in the same way (set the required number of characters and words, press a button and get a standard and uninteresting nickname).

Wrote the article One Sov. Especially for .

Nick (short for nickname- pseudonym) is a fictitious name that is most often used on the Internet, and can also be used in literature, music, cinema and other forms of show business. " How to come up with a nickname?», « How to make your nickname truly original“- these are the first questions that every person faces when tormented by the problem of choosing his pseudonym. Today we will look at this problem inside and out, and also get acquainted with tips and examples that will help you choose a nickname and make it truly impressive.

How to come up with a nickname. Step one. Goals and objectives

Before you come up with a nickname, you should decide what you need it for. The goal will largely determine how to create a pseudonym. It is not recommended to skip this step, since the nickname must correspond to the environment in which you will use it. For example, if you wrote a detective novel, then the options “Kisulya”, “Hellen devil” or “ArchDemon” are unlikely to suit you as a pseudonym.

A variety of areas can encourage you to come up with a nickname:

• Online games
• Dating sites
• Show business
• Literature, etc.

And in each of these areas, a nickname needs its own zest, which will be discussed below. The general wish for all pseudonyms, of course, is uniqueness. Non-unique nicknames are funny when there are only a couple of them, because it leads to funny things (especially if these people overlap with each other), but when there are thousands of users, the excessive abundance becomes simply banal and dull.

How to come up with a nickname. Step two. Highlight

Zest is a distinctive feature of a nickname, which:

• Attracts attention
• Associated only with you
• Arouses curiosity

The highlights of a pseudonym are largely determined by the scope of use of the nickname, and can be different depending on the context.

General rule:

The highlight should arouse curiosity, interest, or pose the question to the interlocutor (reader): what the nickname means and why you chose it. It is highly desirable that the pseudonym be associated specifically with you.

Regarding associations, this is one of the most powerful highlights that “burns” your nickname into the memory of others. For example, in one animated martial arts film, each character had a nickname that described him, directly or indirectly. One of the heroes had poor eyesight and wore glasses, but when he took them off, his blows never missed. He was called Odin because, according to Scandinavian legend, Odin was blind in one eye, but possessed a legendary spear, Gungnir, which always hit its target accurately.

How to come up with a nickname. Step three. Methods

There are a lot of ways to come up with a nickname. Depending on the context, certain nicknames may or may not be appropriate. The author of this article leaves the reader the right to choose, offering only a set of ways to come up with a nickname.

Way to come up with a nickname No. 1 One letter

Just one letter brings a considerable amount of mystery to your nickname. This nickname is easy to remember and can be interpreted in any way you like. The main problem is that there are about three dozen letters in the English and Russian alphabets, and there are millions of people. In addition, if you plan to use such a nickname in a chat, then the system itself may introduce restrictions on the length of the nickname.

In order to get around these restrictions, you can duplicate the same character. For example, one Japanese animated film used the aliases C.C. and V.V. As for the rest, everything depends only on your imagination.

Way to come up with a nickname No. 2 Changelings

Reversals are words read backwards. For example, Seldom-Modles, Dynamo-Omanyd and so on. Most often, people write their names backwards. If the word turns out to be not very beautiful, then you can change it a little by adding one or more letters. For example, in the word Modles from the example, you can add the letter S to the end, creating a new full word Modless, which can have several meanings.

You can also add articles, particles and other elements known to you. For example, at one time I used exactly this method to create my nickname, which you can see in my email address. I flipped the word "Danyl" (my name) around to make it Lynad, and then just added the German article Der to make the nickname sound tougher.

Way to come up with a nickname No. 3 Verbal nouns

Another simple one, but nonetheless effective way come up with a nickname. Everything is simple here: you decide which action you like best and add the ending –er to it (relevant for English language). In the Russian equivalent, you simply create a verbal noun. There are countless examples: Skater, Reader, Traveler, etc.

This way, you immediately arouse curiosity among people with similar interests.

Way to come up with a nickname No. 4 Word play and specials. inserts

This method is especially popular on the Internet. Its essence lies in the fact that in words elements that are identical in pronunciation are replaced with numbers or other words. For example, I personally took the word copywriter and created the consonant nickname Copyrider from it. This is a play on words. As for replacement, you don’t need to look far for examples: Sk8ter, 4Fun, 2zik, etc.

Way to come up with a nickname No. 5 mythology and literature

This method of coming up with a nickname will come in handy if you plan to give the impression of a well-read and educated person. Mythology, no matter whether it is ancient Egyptian, ancient or Scandinavian, is simply teeming with sonorous names that you can successfully use as a pseudonym.

Way to come up with a nickname No. 6 Appeal to male instincts

One of my favorite methods of misleading representatives of the stronger sex (just shhhhh... don’t say a word to anyone... =)), which will be very, very relevant for girls. The secret of this method is that any pseudonym that passes through a man’s consciousness causes a certain response in him based on instincts. This reaction may either not be expressed at all, or may be caused by a number of psychophysiological processes.

So, for example, the pseudonyms “Vkusnenkaya”, “Kislenkaya”, “Kisunya” are imbued with femininity and are tinged with naivety, in a word, the whole mixture of qualities that are inherent in prey for a man’s subconscious on an instinctive level. As a result, and this is especially true for online games and chats, such nicknames will be more successful among men than “Lady Foam Rubber” or “Augean Cleanser”.

By the way, this method can also be used in reverse, causing a negative emotional reaction and a feeling of disgust.

Way to come up with a nickname No. 7 Objects, phenomena, sounds, etc.

An alias can be obtained from anything: both from objects and from phenomena and sounds: Buzz, Flash, Cleaver, Plane, Protractor - anything. You choose any nickname depending on your goals and objectives.

ABOUT in a similar way has already been discussed in the article “”. Many of the approaches described in this article can be successfully used to create a nickname.

Resume: You can come up with a nickname using many different approaches. Some work better, others worse. In any case, before you come up with a pseudonym for yourself, decide why you need it and what tasks it should solve for you.

Obviously, this article does not list all the ways you can use to come up with a good nickname. If you have your own thoughts on this topic, your opinion is always welcome in the comments below.
