Having a hard time coming up with a nickname

| Always been a bother. I didn't even name my pokemans and pets. I can come up with random ass names for in-game playable characters, but something I myself could identify with is always hard. Especially since I try to make it in 1 word (several words mashed together into one don't count) and with no special characters or numbers. Idunno, maybe some advice on the matter? Share your nicknames and their stories.


| Look into emerging technologies and underrated quantum mechanics terms. I've had many names over the years, the one that stuck and people still call me by from time to time was just a random name I thought of but I remembered later to be from a video game from the 90s though it was also a normal word at the same time.


| STING


| sting3r


| Tim.


| Use a random combination of 2 words


| fucccboiii


| Jack


| I named my cat cat


| Welp, this is going about as well as I expected... Good job, g/u/rls, you never disappoint.


| Example: Erdős

| Name them Spaghetti Joe


| I like using simple words in other languages.


| >>157857
Same


| >>157857 yep, I like to use some more obscure language as well


| Pidor


| >>158249
Net, ti.


| Paint killer


| Just repeatedly generate random string until you like the result lol


| OP, apply mathematical formulas to name generation.
A couple of weeks ago, some g/u/rl here mentioned Lojban, an artificial synthetic language that is designed fo be efficient, simple, avoiding logical fallacies in the constructs and with a grammar that indeed is formal logic. I loved it when I looked it up.
For their root words Lojban uses a simple rule to make up words. They are always made of 5 characters, structured
CVVCV
or
CVCCV
C - consonant
V - vowel


| You can use such kind of similar rule to make a nickname too, which can be easy to pronounce as well.
Or you could inverse each character in those formulas above by replacing consonants with vowels and vice versa. The result would be practically the same.
Good luck.
