username generator

secondimension

some people cant think of a username so why not make a generator?
there would be a generate button on the signup page where it would make a username in this order:
adjective, noun, random number (1-99999)

bin weevils had one so why not scratch?

what if it starts generating reused usernames? will that be a problem?

Simply make it so that it doesn't generate usernames that were already used.

I think the adjective should be before the noun, and the number should just be the lowest number that isn't taken. What I mean is: if the first part of someone's username is “bluedragon”, then the first person to have that generated's username would be “bluedragon1”, the second would be “bluedragon2”, and if someone already selected the username “bluedragon72”, then the 72nd person's username would be “ ”bluedragon73". This would definitely be useful for people who have trouble with creating a username, so I support!

You only need to bump once every 24 hours and when the suggestion isn’t on the front page

Would this be an optional feature?

The OP says that it's for people who can't think of a username, so probably.

why would any site change their username system to noun > adjective > number?!?!?!?

(in simple terms, its optional)

Thank you for the clarification.

Support so people don't have to go willy nilly find a good username generator when there is one.

Support! It’s very useful for when your making a new account, but can’t think of a user that isn’t used.

Yeah I've seen some websites use this randomizer thing.
Also in my opinion it should be nice to have a dice button (or any randomizer button) next to the text username area.

nevermind do adjective, noun, random number (1-99999) instead because it will just generate nonsensical usernames
