I recently found myself in the market for a new Gmail username and some new usernames for forums I go to. It's not easy to come up with usernames sometimes. I want usernames that are easy to remember, so I turned to my favorite search engine and looked for "username generator" and some good Username Generators came up.

MyUserNameGenerator.com is the first I've tried. It gave me some cool short usernames (like "Axoim") and it gave me the ability to tweak some parameters like length of username or the option of generating a username with a lot of consonants.

Short Username Generator Three syllables max - that's enough for a username. That's what seems to be the ideal with this short username generator. Almost every time I clicked the little "Go" button it created a gem of a username. Names like Varu, Athak, Abader, Nad, and Argar. Those are some nice sounding short names. A few of those are easy to remember and would be good email usernames. Is nad@gmail.com taken?

Random Username Generator This is one of my favorite username generators because it creates a big list of usernames at once. Not only does it generate a lot of different usernames with one click of a button, it also links each username to a site called knowem.com which allows you to check if your cool generated username is available at a variety of popular sites and social networks. Some other features of this generator allow you to alter the "randomness" of the name generation by choosing from a list of themes which should be included in your username generation. Also very good is their regular Username Generator which offers many more possibilities in your quest for excellent usernames.

With username generators like the three I mentioned, I can't see any reason to look for more username generators. With these three, you should be able to come up with all the great usernames you'd ever need.
