- (your name)isnotonfire

How to Choose a Y2K Username
-
1Make it personal. Your username reflects who you are (or at least how you want to be perceived online). Think about what kind of content you want to post, and choose a unique username related to your personality or interests. For example, if you make content about popular 2000s movies, you may want to reference your favorite character or quote, like “Vote for Pedro” from Napoleon Dynamite . [13] X Research source
-
2Use numbers and symbols. In the early 2000s, people often used random numbers and symbols to make their usernames more unique. For example, if the name “princess” was taken, you might choose “pr1ncess” or “xxxPrincessxxx.” Replacing random letters in your username can help you achieve the Y2K aesthetic. [14] X Research source
- Keep your username simple. If you choose a username that’s too long or you include too many symbols, it will be difficult for people to read. It may even be hard for you to remember!
-
3Don’t give out private information. While it may be okay to use your first name in your username, don’t include any revealing information, like your last name or address. Similarly, make sure your password is very different from your username and is difficult to guess. Including random letters, numbers, and symbols can help. [15] X Research source
