What’s your go-to modification of your username when it’s not available on a given website? For example, I just found a site where “basepi” is taken. Do I go with “thebasepi”, or “basepi1” or “basep1” or “bas3pi”…? ---

I have like 7 different usernames so it’s fine. 8) …it also makes finding the other sites I’m on a chore. 😛 ---

Mine isn’t terribly common, but on the offhand I do I add a series of numbers. I forgot my password to an online game and the company sent me a replacement password, 1598BLFD, so I always add the 1598 bit. Heck as a cashier my password on the register is 1598. ---

Nice. I’ve considered trying to add some numbers to the end, but I’ve never been a hug fan of trailing numbers when I can avoid it. On Reddit I’m “basepi\_” – I really like it when they let me use the trailing underscore. The current one I’m trying to name is only letters or numbers – no dashes or underscores allowed. The sad thing is, “basepi” is not actually an account on that site – it was an account that was subsequently deleted, and they don’t allow you to reuse deleted names. =( I’m currently leaning towards “thebasepi”, but we’ll see. ---
