- No numbers after the name.
Come on, if someone else has the name you want, just think harder. Don't be Starscream707.
- Must abbreviate well.
Since your name will be spoken in some contexts, pick one that is short enough to say quickly or one that can abbreviate down to one syllable. Otherwise you have guys shouting "Hey, SuperSaiyan420, cover my left flank!" And then we all feel like dorks. Well...
bigger dorks.
- Naming yourself after other stuff might make you hate that other stuff.
This is the "don't cover songs you really like unless you're prepared to hate them" rule when you apply it to bands. When you cover a song, you're going to hear both versions of that song in your head instead of the original you liked so much. So unless you turn in a cover of a song that you really like (which I've only done once), you're going to end up hating yourself. I still can't listen to Rumpshaker. And I can only listen to People Who Died once a month or so. So think before you act, there, Wolverine187.
- Being fake edgy is just dumb.
Calling your self "Dark [insert something else here]" or "Evil [anything]" is pretty stupid. Especially if you're violating the rest of the rules.
- No one really cares about how high you get.
Seriously, SmokeDawg. You're the hypermodern equivalent of the drunk junior college girl that's constantly talking about how wasted she is. Except that I don't love you and everything your kind stands for. Though I do like that
"SmokeDog420" has a motto of "I don't get high." Funnier if it's actually true.
