How to Choose the Right Name

Pick the setting first, a private friend nickname can be weirder than something you will use in public.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

Say it out loud twice, if it feels awkward to call across a room it will not stick.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

Keep spelling simple if people will tag you or search you, complicated typing kills momentum.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

Choose something that still feels friendly on a bad day, the best funny nicknames never sound mean.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

Common Naming Mistakes

Choosing a nickname that only makes sense with a long story, then nobody uses it.

Picking something too long, then everyone shortens it into a different nickname.
