How to choose and write nicely nickname
A nickname is a fictitious name, consisting not only of letters, but also symbols, used by a person in the virtual world: for social networks, games, file sharing services, and so on. It should be beautiful and as appropriate as possible in specific circumstances.
For example, in the "game world" nicknames associated with the characters of your favorite games (VED'MAK) will be relevant; on Instagram, fictitious names are best associated with the characteristics of the user or the nature of his posts (MAMA_DVOINI).
In order not to "merge" with other Internet users and not resort to using numbers at the end of the selected nickname, you must:
- give your middle name a mystery that can arouse interest from other people;
- characterize yourself or your preferences as much as possible with the chosen nickname;
- make your nickname memorable and creative.
The above guidelines can be followed by one of the most popular ways to create a virtual name for the Internet.
These include:
- Using single characters or letters. This name is usually "encrypted" by their initials. The difficulty in this case may lie in the mandatory conditions of some sites for a specific number of characters in the invented nickname of the user (usually 5-6).
- Spelling the words "vice versa". These "inverted nicknames" are the most memorable. They grab attention and make other users want to know which word was the source of a particular nickname. To add even more uniqueness, such "flip-flops" are modified by adding letters, syllables or symbols.
- Use of verbal nouns. This method is the most versatile and is suitable both for ordinary users of social networks and for “professionals” of multiplayer games or “Steam”.

The video demonstrates the way you can decorate your nickname:
These variations of nicknames usually consist exclusively of letters of the English alphabet and unique icons.
It is equally important for the user to also designate their gender with a nickname. This minimizes the likelihood of discontent from other users who unintentionally chose, for example, a girl with a “male” pseudonym for their team.
There are no officially prohibited symbols for using them when creating nicknames in Steam. Players are allowed to replace ordinary letters with icons, alternate standard words with miniature pictures that have their own meanings, and so on.
Beautiful symbols that can be used instead of letters are widely available on the Internet. To insert the selected icon into your nickname in "Steam" you need to copy it by highlighting it on the site and paste it with the right mouse button in the nickname creation line. Advanced users also use hotkey combinations.

The beautiful characters for the nickname in Avatar indicate the user's rich imagination and non-standard thinking. Such traits of a person's character will attract attention from other players, which will increase his chances of finding an interlocutor with a close spirit.
You can find such unique icons on resources related to the server in question.
Among the most popular are: ø, ₮, ₩, ¥, ₴, ¤, ₰. Also, very often when creating a nickname in the "Avatar" symbols are used to illustrate a person's gender - ♂ (male) and ♀ (female).
This tendency is widespread, since when creating a hero in a game, the user needs not only to choose a beautiful name, appearance and way of future life for him, but also gender, and the gender symbol in the pseudonym leaves no questions for other users.
The basic rule when creating a virtual name in "Avatar" - do not overdo it with the number of characters, which will make the player's name unreadable, and therefore will not arouse interest from other users.
Symbols for a nickname on Instagram
In 90% of cases, nicknames on Instagram are a unique combination of words (not meaningful or meaningful only for the user himself) or a phrase that characterizes the type of profile of a particular person.
Considering that Instagram for modern people is a kind of "thought diary" or a public blog, a pronounced orientation of posts, designed in a pseudonym, is extremely necessary to attract "followers".
Symbols used to diversify or make a virtual name unique may contain:
- numbers (usually the date of birth of loved ones, relatives or the user himself);
- letters (for example, the initials of children, to whom more posts of a particular profile are devoted).
There are no prohibited symbols on Instagram, however, the number and type of icons allowed for their inclusion in virtual names is limited. According to the rules of Instagram, only a period, a number and an underscore can be included in a user's pseudonym.
Symbols for the nickname "VKontakte" and other social networks

In connection with this feature, the most common among virtual names are real surnames and usernames. Considering the large number of people registered in the same social network, the services "skip" the same nicknames.
In an effort to make their middle name unique, people use a variety of symbols when creating it (there are no prohibited icons for creating a nickname) that characterize them in the best way. For example, if a person is a musician, his nickname will often have a "♪" icon.
Beautiful symbols for a nickname in social networks can be found freely available on the Internet, through the Start menu or in the pre-installed Microsoft Word. To do this, just copy the desired picture and paste it into the "Name" or "Surname" column when registering on the service or after it, in the "Settings" tab (or "Editing", depending on the version of the site).
Most common: ♔ ♕ ♚ ♛ ▅ ▆ (͡ ° ͜ °) ✽ ✾ ✿ ❀ ❁ ❂ ❃ ❄ ❅ ❆ ❇ ❈ ❉ ❊ ❋.

These symbols can not only be written in the traditional way, but also represent schematic drawings, Roman numerals, fractions or numbers within a circle: ①②③❹ ❺ ❻ ⑦ ⑧ ⑨½ ¼ ⅕ ¾ Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ Ⅴ Ⅵ ↀ ↁ ↂ.
Spelling marks
As a result of their combinations, spelling signs can form pictures that are understandable only to the author of the nickname, and they can delimit the words that are part of the nickname. The most common characters are: ‹ˆ› ʹ ʺ ʻ ʼ ˀ ˁ ˂ ˃˄ ˅ ˆ ˇ ˌˍ ˎ ˏ ː ˑ ˖ ˗ ˘ ˙ ˞.
Such symbols are universal and are allowed by the absolute majority of Internet resources.
Hearts and holiday emoticons
Hearts and holiday emoticons are most appropriate for social media nicknames. With their help, the user can notify the rest of the people about the upcoming important event, festive mood, sensuality, emotionality or his temperament "merry fellow". There are many ways to write such symbols.
Sports Symbols
Sports symbols in pseudonyms testify to the hobbies of their owner and characterize him as a purposeful and strong person. In addition, they can also be used in the names of business accounts promoting sporting goods or advertising sporting events.
Miscellaneous symbols
In addition to symbols that have a specific meaning, characterizing a user or profile of social networks from a specific side, there are icons that do not carry special meaning, for example: ☡ � 〠 ☯ ☮. Using them when creating a pseudonym on the Web is permissible only on an informal Internet resource.
Beautiful symbols that are part of a nickname are not just a way to stand out for the user himself, but also an opportunity to declare their well-being, interests or an upcoming important event. In creating a pseudonym, one should observe the measure and remember that the desire to make your virtual name unique by adding unusual icons should not prevent other people from perceiving what is written.
