Help guys. I need some help on a gaming tag. My usual gaming tag now is Y0shiM0n, but I don't know if I should change it, because all of the top players have short remember able names, like ZeRo, Mango, Mr. R, etc...

So what do you guys think I should do? Thanks for the help.

I was thinking about mine being "Cytoplasm" and not Effay.
Cytoplasm is actually a real word, and is biology-based. Would be a cool gamertag.
Or cytoplasmic, that sounds even cooler.

That does sound cool, but it doesn't really fit me and it is hard to pronounce.
Shadow Unicorn sounds cool! LOL

Don't worry about written length, but length in syllables instead. 3 syllables sounds short and good enough to me.

@ Minato Minato Yes. I was probably gonna keep it, but having it as Y0shiM0n it makes me feel that I have to play Yoshi in tourneys... So what do you think?

Only if you're that concerned about it, you could change it. There are top players that have had tags tied to their character (PR Balrog). If anything, people will remember the roots of the name, but the expectations of them using that character sort of just disappears.

Mew2King and KirbyKaze don't play their namesake characters, so thats not too big of a deal.

You could do an anagram of your existing name. Anagrams always sound cool.

Once you scramble the letters and find a syllable you like, just rearrange the other letters to be pronounceable/cool.

Here's what I did to get ixos:

Go to some word combiner thing, put in a few words from things that interest you or that you like, and find the coolest one. Ixos sounds stupid, but I was lazy and didn't feel like making another one.

Putting random words together is good too. Kinda like Leffen or Nairo.
You could also the initials of something. Effay is FA, which is the initials for a website I used to be obsessed with.
Or just random numbers and letters like 6WX and I think MVD (not sure if that is initials or if just random letters)

Most Valuable Diddy eh? The story of that is funny! :)

How do you guys like the name Mozzie (It is after my cat)?

Or what about Scootch since that has been my nickname since I was little?

Use whichever you're most comfortable with. One that you won't regret later on. I feel that if someone else chooses it for you, there's a chance you just don't get used to it.

Agreed. My parents have called me Scootch since I was little, so I have gotten used to it, but I see your point.

A tag will come to you naturally. For me it was like being given a nickname.... in fact that's exactly what it was! Friends started called me J$, so eventually I just made it my tag because it was something I associated myself with. Other tags I went by were AiAi and hero, but both felt artificial to me. I guess for me, a gaming tag is something more personal, something I identify with.

Yeah, that is why I am probably making it Scootch, since, if you scroll up, that has been my nick name since I was small.

An old kids show I used to watch when I was little. Obviously I don't watch it now, but the name kinda stuck.
