  • Username dilemma, need suggestions.

    Hi, I want to create socials with my full name as a professional to build credibility.

    I have an elegant uncommon name, first and last names. However, a model’s stage’s last name is the same as my real last name, and the short nickname of her middle name is my first name. She monopolized socials like twitter and insta during covid holidays, but now she has abandoned the name and gone with a new stage name holding old one hostage. She has 0 followers. So it’s not about her brand.

    My name is so unique that if you search it on google, everything that pops up is me and this model with her old stage name. I reach out to her, and she says she’ll let me have it for $5 million even though she’s not using it.

    I know this is a common issue that most people face, not being able to get the desired username, but with my elegant and rare name, I never thought I’d face the issue. So, what now? I get a variation of the name, right?

    Here is the problem. I need to build credibility. So I can’t have numbers, words like “the” etc. I can’t have “official” either as I’m not a celebrity or something. I just want to build credibility.

    So, what can I add to the name that’s short but natural?

    Can you add a period or middle initial between first and last name?

    Can you add “its” to the beginning? Like @itsjohndoe?

    Or add your profession to it like @coachjohndoe?

    You don’t have to be a celebrity to have “official” in your name.

    Do you have a suffix professional title for the work you do? Like PHD, MD, or PSD if you’re a graphic designer?

    Yeah, it sucks but it is what it is. She understands that this name is valuable to you, and that’s why she said that. But as she was 5 million dollars, she must be out of her mind. Sounds like she was dealing with Elon Musk lol????????

    Maybe you can add an extra a in your name at the end of your niche word (marketing, social, etc) or just add your full name (if it’s short), etc. There are multiple things you can do
