Start with a strong root
Your root can be your name, subject, promise, or signature phrase. Keep it pronounceable and easy to type.
Use modifiers with meaning
- Action: get, try, use, build
- Format: daily, studio, lab, show
- Category: money, design, fitness, college
- Identity: by [name], with [name]
Avoid disposable patterns
Long number strings, multiple underscores, and trend slang age quickly and create verbal friction.
Run the radio test
If you say the username once in a podcast, can the listener find it later? That is the standard.
