I usually go to reddit and copy the first username that I see. Is there a quicker way to get a username like noun_adjective_number?

    Idk, you could try to find a list of noun, a list of adjective and then make a lil python/bash script that randomly generates a nickname. (There might be an easier solution tho)

      I made a python script (Yup I’m bored lol)
      https://codeberg.org/UncleReaton/RUNG

      #!/usr/bin/python3
import random

with open("adjectives.txt", "r") as f_adj:
    adj = f_adj.readlines()

with open("nouns.txt", "r") as f_nouns:
    nouns = f_nouns.readlines()
    
rand_noun = nouns[random.randint(1, len(nouns))].strip()
rand_adj = adj[random.randint(1, len(adj))].strip()
rand_number = str(random.randint(0, 100))
print(rand_noun + "_" + rand_adj + "_" + rand_number)

    This is pretty clever already :D

    You can use the linux command pwgen to generate usernames. With the right arguments, it generates almost pronouncable names of random syllables.

    pwgen -A01 [<length> [<amount>]] is the general syntax. -A01 makes it so that you get all lowercase without numbers and one username per line. The <length> parameter lets you choose how many characters your username should have and the <amount> parameter lets you choose how many usernames it should suggest.

    Example: 5 usernames with the length of 10 characters:

    $ pwgen -A01 10 5
aefaegeina
avubeixaik
shienaitie
jaethuekeg
yoreivoozu

    I use my password manager (keepass) to generate a “phrase” and use that as name.
