2. Make it unique to you – Reflect your personality, playstyle, or inside jokes.
3. Check cross-platform availability – Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, Discord, Twitch, etc.
4. Avoid offensive, copyrighted, or impersonating names – Risk of bans or forced changes.
5. Test readability – Can friends spell/pronounce it easily?
6. Have fun! – It's your digital identity; own it.
