This is a little bit of notes to my classmates. If you do not wish to read keep scrolling.

Dear Doc and Doc’s class,

I have had a short yet fun ammount of time with you all. I am appreciative of all of you and feel as if you are all my new friends that I may never see again. I wish you all good luck in your studies. Due to complications in my life as of 3rd quarter I will most likely be leaving public schools and be homeschooled to further my advancements and start college early. I hope you all have enjoyed my company although I have been a burden on many. You guys make me feel at home.

Thank you,

Travis

I plan to upload a blog every now and then to talk to you all. So please stay tuned in.

How to make a more visually appealing username online.

Everyone has seen “that” guy with a name like xXKingKillerXx while playing online. Every single name online expresses a person in there own different ways. It can become an eyesore everytime you see the same type of name. Some of the most common names start with King, xX, Ninja and Killer so I recommend to try and avoid those terms. Here are a few ways to make yourself look more creative and unique while playing online.

Step 1. Be Uncommon

When creating an online username you should fine subtle ways to express yourself. Are you crazy? Are you passionate? Are you strong or weak? What defines you? It could be many words but you should select your favorite out of them. Once you’ve characterized yourself a little bit get more creative. My favorite thing when characterizing myself if looking up synonyms for a words and finding the most uncommon one. Here are some examples.

• Passionate = Fervent
• Crazy = Deranged
• Fast = Swift
• Strong = Sturdy

Step 2. Be Unique

When creating an online username you should use more words. The more words you use the more unique you become. Although at a point using longer words can become a hassle. Here is a quick example using my online username.

✔ FerventOrange or 🚫 FerventedOrangling 

Your name should be quick and unique. It should also be able to characterize yourself a little bit.

For example…  Fervent means Passionate and Orange is my favorite color. Therefor I have a passion for the color orange.

If your name is too long it can be harder on your team or friends to give call outs or helpful advice quickly. I would always recommend 2 short worded names.

Step 3. Subtle facts

When online you should express yourself. Give everyone a small taste of what you like. For this step I would always recommend something that you like, It either being a treat, a color or even an animal. Hence the word orange in my username. This gives your prior characteristic something to characterize. Here are some examples…

• DerangedTiger
• SturdyGrape
• SwiftTurtle
• FerventOrange

Although these are all pretty simple they are still examples of characterizing an object.

Step 4. Play around

When creating your final name play around with it. Make something unique or weird. You could even characterize something with a characterization it should not have. From the prior examples be a little bit deranged. You could even make something that doesnt make sense, like…

• SwiftTurtle (Fast Turtle)
• DerangedSloth (Crazy Sloth)

Then you can question yourself. Why would there be a fast turtle? Or a crazy sloth? Its not about a fast turtle or a crazy sloth. From those names I could figure out that you like to be fast and your favorite animal is most likely a turtle.

Step 5. Check if anyone else has the name

How much would it suck if you spent many minutes coming up with the most perfect name just to find out that it isnt unique. Mess around and look for your new name on the internet and see if anyone else uses it. If it is found in many places then I suggest you find a new name.

When I looked up FerventOrange only 6 versions of my names popped up. BUT all of them were owned by me. 2 being my youtube channels, 1 being a game website, 1 being a forum and 2 for online social club accounts.

Step 6. Be SAFE

In this step you NEED to be safe. When creating your name do not give out your name, location, age or year you were born. You should do a google search to make sure your information IS SECURE.

Thank you all for reading, If you’d like go ahead and create a unique name and leave it in the comments.
