Hello Friend! It's cool that you do creativity and are going to let it go to the masses \u003d) I know this, because otherwise you would not be wondering how to come up with a pseudonym.
In this article I will tell you about typical mistakes that people make when choosing an alias, about what, in my opinion, makes a nickname cool and memorable, I will give a bonus and give examples.
But for starters, 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 encountered the problem of not being able to decide how to call myself. I tried about 5 nicknames in a few years, and stopped, in my opinion, at the best. Why I decided so, I will tell at the end of this article.
3 common mistakes when choosing an alias
- The first thing I would like to talk about is that you should not choose a nickname as an alias. I mean ordinary nicknames that everyone had in the yard or at school, which may have passed into adulthood, and here you decide that since everyone calls you Vantuz anyway, then even in a creative environment you will be known by by that name. Maybe for youTube (if you are driving your channel) it will be a suitable nickname, only if you cover some feces from the Internet or even worse. I do not see other options here.
- The next paragraph is simply called "horse-drawn 0 just 4 and so you". I think that from the title of this paragraph it should be clear what I mean. Such crap is very common among gamers, but they have their own specifics ... At the same time, someone calls himself that in contact, uses a similar alias 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 have in order to read (correctly!), To remember, to advise someone, and so that later he can easily find you in the internet. For some reason, no one thinks about it. No need to make people strain!
- The next typical mistake is that in an attempt to invent a super-cool and unique, memorable nickname, people completely forget about the adequacy. Here are some examples of real people: Homeless people, Gomik in the Village, Vodavrot and these are not the most frostbitten \u003d) When I see such names, it immediately becomes clear that a person is doing something frivolous at the amateur level ... there’s no way to watch or listen to him desires. Yes and not worth it.
These are the key mistakes that I was able to single out from the general mass. I highly recommend not repeating them. Why? It seems to be so clear.
Now to the main question
How to choose a good alias
There are a lot of options. Which one will be more useful to you, I don’t know, so read on and pick what you like.
- The first and most obvious is the nickname from the name. I don’t know why many people bypass 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 declare yourself abroad. For an artist or musician, this would be a great decision ... or a designer. Denis Simachev is an example.
- Not for everyone, but as an option. Again play with your name. Perhaps, combining part of the name and surname, you get a good nickname. For example, in order not to go far, the author of this blog is also known as Deep.
- Further options are more complicated. Think about what kind of mood your creativity carries, on what topics and where it is directed. Based on this, sketch on a piece of paper all the associations that come to your mind. Next, either choose from what is, or you can continue the chain, but this is unlikely. Of the 3 questions, you can easily register 30 options. From this you can choose something. Perhaps a bit corrected for better sound.
- The next option takes time and experience in what you do. As promised at the beginning, now I’ll tell you how I chose the last stage name for myself. My environment helped me in this, even without my participation. According to my friend, the conversation turned to me ... word for word and I’m ready for a new nickname, sonorous and which in meaning is connected with me. I didn’t come up to anyone with the words “help me come up with a cool nickname”, somehow it all happened by itself. But I repeat that most likely it will take a lot of time.
Errors in inventing a nickname (pseudonym)
They are few, but they are. 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 another nickname.
- The next paragraph is related to the first, but I decided to separate them. No need to make an alias more than 4-5 words. It is very inconvenient to read, write, and the first time is unlikely that anyone will remember. 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, a great name for comedians. I can’t say exactly why it sounds cool and memorable, maybe it’s somehow connected with the song \u003d)
- It should be easy to read. I wrote about this in errors, and I repeat again. Make your name as simple and clear as possible - it will be easier for people to remember you.
- There is no discord between what you do and your name. It’s very strange to be called “little pony” when you are a 35-year-old man with an Iroquois who performs hard metal growling ... well, I think the example is clear.
How to choose a creative pseudonym for a girl? Try to use 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 are broke. Now on the Internet there are a lot of services that allow you to generate a nickname or name for yourself. As a bonus to today's material, I will throw a list of some of them so that there is plenty to choose from. These generators are made for lazy people who do not want to think with their own heads. As a rule, they all work the same way (set the required number of characters and words, press a button and get a standard and uninteresting alias).

What is an alias? Many people have probably heard this word, but represent its meaning, meaning, origin and other interesting features only in general terms. In the article we will become more familiar with this concept, and you will learn what a pseudonym is and what it is eaten with.
Definition
An alias is a fictitious, fake name that a person uses to not give out real data recorded in documents.
Foreign and Russian pseudonyms are equally good, but some people (both “ours” and foreign ones) deliberately use foreign letters to make the finished new name look as original as possible. Famous personalities, "glowing" on the screens, have a more complete name: an artistic pseudonym or, as they call it differently, a stage name.
Synonyms of the word nickname. They do not always mean the same thing, but they can be called the closest to the concept under discussion.
Origin
Despite the similarity of the concepts of “nickname” and “pseudonym”, they are still slightly different. At least the fact that nicknames appeared earlier. What is an alias? Fictional name. A nickname is also a name, but most often given to a person by other people for some of his features and characteristics.
The origin of pseudonyms can be traced even before the appearance of a production book, but the roots come precisely from writers. It was the authors who first began to use fictitious names. However, even earlier, people began to use nicknames, as mentioned above. It’s just that once a new name “stuck” to some person, ridiculing his shortcomings or emphasizing his dignity, as a result of which the real data was completely forgotten. Then began the more active use of both nicknames and pseudonyms, and now they are unlikely to ever be abandoned.
Why use aliases
The reasons may be different. The most common are listed below:
1. Reluctance to shine with real data in front of the public. For this, again, there are branches. Reluctance may be caused by:
- Fear of persecution. People do not always write or put on public court what everyone will like. Sometimes real data are disclosed, for example, about criminals, which means that someone may wish to find a writer and take revenge. Tracking a person with a real name is much easier than hiding behind a pseudonym.
- Inadequate status. This was especially true of previous centuries. People from might not be taken seriously by the people just because of their origin. This is unfair and insulting, so the authors had to hide their own surname.
- Fear "screwed up." Beginning authors never know exactly how ordinary people will criticize their work - success awaits them or failure, so pseudonyms inspired more confidence: if the “first pancake” is unsuccessful, you can try again and no one will be biased due to a previous miss .
- Natural modesty. Not everyone becomes famous people for the sake of fame, for some it comes out almost by accident. To at least slightly protect themselves from strangers, modest people take pseudonyms.
2. Dislike for a real name. Due to the fact that the person does not like the real name given by the parents, but for personal reasons he does not want to change it officially (for example, due to paperwork with documents), the author can realize his dreams about the new name in a different way.
3. The solidity of the real name. The real name can be impossibly banal and mediocre, because of which its owner has to come up with a creative pseudonym that the public can really like. This applies to all singers and musicians, as well as to more highly specialized people like fortune tellers, cooks and local (urban, rural, roadside) "stars".
4. The entertaining nature of the new name. This can occur in:
- Mysterious nickname. People are trying to unravel the secret that is hidden behind an unusual and strange name, trying to understand why the author chose such a nickname, etc.
- Associations. The author specifically creates a pseudonym for himself, which will involuntarily in most people be associated and / or identified with someone / something.
- Curiosity. The author carefully hides, leaving behind only a pseudonym, which makes people incredibly interested in who is behind this or that nickname, what kind of person he is, how real he is, etc.
5. "Automatic" pseudonym. This option applies to those who do not invent a nickname for themselves. Serial killers, such as famous thieves or other people who have a pseudonym thanks to the public and the media, fall into this category.
Who are the most common nicknames?
Before
As soon as one person called himself a fictitious name, others began to repeat after him. Most often, pseudonyms were used by public figures who are constantly in sight, which people know. These may be writers and writers who do not want to shine on the covers of books with real data, singers and singers who simply cannot speak with the name Ivan Ivanov, since this is too commonplace and commonplace, artists and people of other creative professions who have become world-famous criminals (take the same Jack the Ripper), as well as political figures (for example, Lenin).
Now
Of course, modern writers and people of art and other areas continue to use pseudonyms, as before, since this will never go out of style with stars, but another category of people who almost have to use this method of hiding a real name has been added. Aliases are used by almost every more or less active Internet user: nicknames that you regularly need to come up with with numerous registrations are the same aliases.
How to come up with an alias?
- Own qualities. A wise guy, a daredevil, a hero, a fool, etc. - all these words characterize a person. By defining their strengths or weaknesses - for those who are not strangers to self-irony - you can come up with any nicknames and concepts close to them.
- Compilation of existing names / aliases of the new. Marilyn Manson, for example, took the name from the singer Marilyn Monroe - the sex symbol, singer and actress - and the name of Charles Manson - the once famous killer.
- Anagrams. Using this, that is, by rearranging syllables, sounds or letters, you can create an incredible amount of new, unusual, but at the same time mysterious pseudonyms. A sniper can turn into Naysper’s, True to Ad Warp’s, etc. Sometimes it’s almost impossible to recognize the old in a new word.
Writers (and poets) using pseudonyms
The most common way to sign books is not by their own name among writers. But, since these people are connected with literature, they get really interesting nicknames.

0:1424 0:1532 0:11Since 1996, the St. Petersburg publishing house "ABC" began to publish books by the writer Max Fry. Genre - Fantasy with elements of parody. Novels gradually gained popularity, and by 2001 Max Fry had become one of the most published Russian science fiction writers. In the end, the author's popularity grew to such an extent that it became necessary to present it to the public: Fry became a real star.
0:777 0:789Exposure
0:824Among foreign authors, Max Fry is not listed, for Russia such a name and surname are atypical - that means this is a pseudonym, everything was decided. The publishing house joked that Max Fry is a blue-eyed black man. This continued until the fall of 2001, when the host did not introduce Svetlana Martynchik to the audience as the real author of Max Fry’s books on the television program of Dmitry Dibrov.
0:1493 0:1503And then a scandal erupted: Martynchik accused the ABC of trying to register Max Fry as a trademark and put literary blacks to write for her.
0:346 0:358“Already after the story was opened with an attempt to register Max Fry’s name as a trademark, they [the ABC Publishing House] promptly offered me: let’s let us put the guys down and they will write books - candidates of philological sciences, not lower! So, they will write a book in a quarter, and they will pay me one hundred thousand rubles for that, also in a quarter ”(from an interview with Svetlana Martynchik).

0:1340 0:1352Hoax
0:1387In 1998, the detective novel "Azazel" was published about the adventures of a young Petersburg detective Erast Fandorin. On the cover appears the author - Boris Akunin. The genre - “an intelligent historical detective story” - turned out to be in demand, although not immediately. At the beginning of zero, Akunin’s books became bestsellers, and conversations began on film adaptations, which meant for the author much more money than just royalties for novels.
0:2174 0:11Exposure
0:46As Akunin’s books became more and more popular and their audience wider, various assumptions were put forward, including that the author was actually Vladimir Zhirinovsky or Tatyana Tolstaya. However, already in 2000 it became known that under this pseudonym is a Japanese translator, deputy chief editor of the journal Foreign Literature Grigory Chkhartishvili. He himself admitted this, giving several interviews and starting to appear in public not only as Chkhartishvili, but also as Akunin.
0:988 0:1000“Akunin” in Japanese means “evil genius. According to another version, this pseudonym was chosen in honor of the famous Russian anarchist Bakunin. Well, maybe.
0:1313 0:1325“I needed a pseudonym because this type of writing is very different from all my other activities. When Akunin sits down at a computer and starts pounding on the keyboard, his thought does not work as well as that of Chkhartishvili, who is writing an article or an essay. We are so different. Akunin is significantly kinder than me. This is the first. Secondly, he, unlike me, is an idealist. And thirdly, he knows for sure that God exists, of which I envy him ”(from an interview with Grigory Chkhartishvili).

0:308In autumn 2007, the whole of Moscow was covered with an advertisement for the novel The Ninth Savior. The author is anonymous Anatoly Brusnikin. According to rumors, the publishing house "AST" has invested up to a million dollars in an advertising campaign - a tremendous amount of money even for the pre-crisis book market. It is unlikely that a little-known writer could claim such an investment. Suspiciously laudatory texts in the yellow press are added to the usual reviews in decent publications, and the writer Elena Chudinova claims that the plot of the book is stolen from her. In addition to the Ninth Savior, another Hero of a Different Time and Bellona came out.
0:1418 0:1428Exposure
0:1463Suspicion quite quickly falls on Grigory Chkhartishvili: the novel takes place at the end of the seventeenth century, and the book is written in the language of the nineteenth century, like the novels of Boris Akunin. Well, the pseudonym is already very similar: here and there "A. B. " The search for the true author goes mainly in the tabloids and is fueled by the publishing house itself: some facts are periodically poured into the press, for example, an inarticulate photograph of Brusnikin, where he either looks like Chkhartishvili, or doesn't.
0:23410:9
Meanwhile, at the beginning of 2008, the Atticus publishing group, which has much less financial resources, released the novel “There” by another unknown author, Anna Borisova (as well as “Creative Worker” and “Vremena goda”).
0:461 0:471Finally, in mid-January 2012, the writer Grigory Chkhartishvili officially announced in his blog that Anatoly Brusnikin and Anna Borisova are him.
0:748Inventing Borisov and Brusnikin, Chkhartishvili experimented with himself and the publishing market. Can publishers spin an unknown writer from scratch and will the reader accept this writer? How much money is needed for this? Which genres is the market ready to accept and which are not? In fact, a whole marketing research came out of the hoax.

She explained the origin of her pseudonym as follows: she knew a stupid man named Stefan, whose servant called Steffy. Considering that stupid people are usually happy, she took this nickname for herself as a pseudonym, reducing it "for the sake of delicacy" to "Taffy".

Today we will consider this problem from and to, and also get acquainted with tips and examples that will help you choose a nickname and make it truly effective.
How to come up with a nickname. Step one. Targets and goals
Before you come up with a nickname, it's worth deciding what you need it for. The goal, in many respects, will determine the way to create an alias. It is not recommended to skip this step, as the nickname must correspond to the environment in which you will use it. For example, if you wrote a detective novel, then you are unlikely to use the options “Kisulya”, “Atsksky Devil” or “ArchDemon” as a pseudonym.
A variety of areas can lead you to come up with a nickname:
- Online games
- Dating websites
- Show Business
- Literature and others
And in each of these areas for nick needs its own flavor, which will be discussed below. A common wish for all pseudonyms, of course, is uniqueness.

How to come up with a nickname. Step Two Zest
Zest is a hallmark of a nickname that:
- Attracts attention
- Associates only with you
- Arouses curiosity
The highlights of the pseudonym are largely determined by the scope of the nickname, and may be different, depending on the context.
General rule:
The highlight should cause curiosity, interest or ask the interlocutor (reader) the question: what does the nickname mean, and why did you choose it. It is highly desirable that the pseudonym be associated with you.
Regarding associations, this is one of the most powerful raisins that “burns out” your nickname in the memory of others. For example, in one animated film devoted to martial arts, each character had his own pseudonym characterizing him, directly or indirectly. One of the heroes had poor eyesight, he 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, however, he had a legendary spear, Gungnir, which always hit the target precisely.

A way to come up with nickname 2 Changeling
Changeling horses are words read backwards. For example, Seldom-Modles, Dynamo-Omanyd and so on. Most often, people rewrite their names backwards. If the word is 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-fledged word Modless, which can have several meanings.
You can also add articles, particles and other elements you know. For example, at one time, I used this particular method to create my nickname, which you can see in my mail address. I flipped the word “Danyl” (my name) to Lynad, and then simply added the German article Der to make the nickname sound harder.
A way to come up with a nickname №3 verbal nouns

A way to come up with a nickname No. 6 A call to male instincts
One of my favorite methods of misleading the stronger sex (only ts-ss-ss ... not a word to anyone ... \u003d)), which will be very, very relevant for girls. The secret of this method is that any pseudonym that passes through the consciousness of a man causes a certain response in it based on instincts. This reaction can either not be expressed at all, or due to a number of psychophysiological processes.
So, for example, the pseudonyms “Vkusnenkaya”, “Kislenkaya”, “Kisunya” are saturated with femininity and have the coloring of naivety, in a word, of the whole mixture of qualities that are inherent in prey for the subconscious of a man on an instinctive level. As a result, and this is especially true for online games and chats, such nicknames will be more successful with men than Lady Foam Foam or Avgieva Cleaner.
By the way, this method can also be used from the opposite, causing a negative emotional reaction and a feeling of disgust.
