How do y'all normally go about coming up with an ign, screen name, or just whatever?
I, personally, don't ever use numbers or things like x's, underscores, or randomly capitalized letters mid-word. Do you?
A few of the names I've come up with have been:
WinterBlaze
SummerFrost
Accursed
Metaphor
Abiron
Audacity
etc..
So yeah, what are some of your "cool" ign's?

I personally does not use x's and underscores (same as you, lol). Also, I never use capitalized letters unless it's in the beginning (of course) or if I put together two different words.
Like "DivineHunter" <--- Yay, I made that up myself - lol

I've also had a char called FighterSune once <---- Lame
I normally think about what would fit the char. For example, I would never call a 1h warrior for HunterSune. That name fits better to an archer.
I often tend to think too much about my char name. It can take up to more than 30 minutes before I make a decision.
btw. Sune is my real life name.

puns or unusual names are what i seek.
i try not to make the underscores/x/capital letters the focal point of the name
otherwise it is nothing more than the good old turkish, analphabetic:
"1450lord_kingxXXxXkillermensstaffrespls10kO0k"

I make a list of words i like and then mix them together.
My first char name was AvAdAkedAvrA (yea, i don't like names with a lot of capital letters in them, but this one looks better like this)
My favourite one is InfernoElite, my current sro char, and my newest one is called Enferniela, because the game i play allows u to use only 10 letters so i couldn't make "InfernoElite" there.
Some others that i made while i was thinking about my char's name were:
CuoreArdente
Elite_Oracle
CryingSunshine (yea, too long, i know)
UrbAngel (Urban angel ^^ )

I usually pick names from books, movies, ancient greek mythology or other games. The results are names like:
Narmora, Andokai, Sinthoras, Caphalor, Berethor, Kalypso, Calibria, Rejalin, ...
I don't really like names with X _ or similar things and i don't like names either, which just describe the character. For me, the name of my character should sound like a real name and nobody would call himself DivineHunter. Nothing against that name, i just wouldn't take it as a character name. I'd rather take it as a hunter alias for a cleric or maybe as grantname.

Do you seriously don't know how to write properly? Or now's your period?
OT: mostly like the others, no capital letter's in the middle of the word, no underscores, just simple words like:
Alkali
Craft
Crisis
wont tell more because some people likes stealing names
